When I found myself seduced by a new job, I wanted to spare everyone the pain of a long, drawn-out negotiation and end things cleanly. The new position was a good fit, and my colleagues knew I had been unhappy. Why not just say goodbye, and move on?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://chronicle.com/jobs/news/2007/07/2007071301c/careers.html"><P>"It doesn't matter," my friend argued. "If you don't give them a chance, they'll resent you. You have to let them try. If you just walk away, they will be angry and hurt."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://chronicle.com/jobs/news/2007/07/2007071301c/careers.html"><P>Some bad feelings do linger on both sides. The fact is, I am leaving, and that remains something of a betrayal to my senior colleagues. As the semester ended, and I cleared out my office and packed up my things, very few of my elders said goodbye. There was no department party, no final round of drinks at the local pub, just some commiserating with fellow disillusioned junior scholars, and good wishes from the core of friends I feel lucky to have gotten to know.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F111BC1F-C6B4-4A30-8F2E-10BE2905CAE9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
