Swallowing Some Serious Pride Today

Take the high road, the business world is a much smaller community than anyone would ever imagine. The new boss at your much better job might just be friends with the dork who's asking you to get the food.

Wait a minute...youre getting the boot and he's asking you to pick up his food? Dude thats a no brainer right there. You dont even have to actually sabatoge the food.....just sit there and sheepishly smile at him and ask how it is once he's at least half way through eating....it should make him think twice....

as Spence says in any profession it is a seriously small world. I am still working with people, many employers later, that I started with 25 years ago when I first moved up here from South Jersey.

I also agree you have an opportunity to find a seriously better role with a better set of circumstances. Recession or not, Mass has one of the most stable employment figures in the nation.

I always do....I WILL leave with my self-respect in tact.

And the IT community is probably one of the smallest, I always seem to cross paths with people in this field

Yea your boss and company will get what they deserve with outsourcing. It does not work. Stay professional and start looking for a job. Don't hang out to train your replacement.

I think some outsourcing has been very successful, but there are so many risks and I've seen many companies really struggle to maintain the same level of productivity. For services and such, you really have to have a strong presence over there. Otherwise it can be very difficult to communicate intent.
