I was actually asked to leave my law firm, and given 6 months to find another position. At the end of 6 months, nothing had turned up (it was during a recession), so I decided to start my own firm. But I was still furious on my last day, and I was inclined to send a "good riddance" email. My husband, however, persuaded me not to, so I simply sent an email wishing everyone well and left.<BR/>Now, 13 years later, my former firm still refers me cases and serves as a positive reference. The firm has probably accounted for at least 6 figures in revenues over the past years. The lawyers provide me with career advice and I've had lunch with many of my former colleagues over the years. None of that would have happened if I'd have burned bridges.Carolyn Elefantwww.myshingle.comnoreply@blogger.com
