I am looking for a job

You could have kept your job too had you not been an asshole. Gerald kept his, didn't he?

I busted my ass to stay with that company, although in retrospect that was a waste of my time.

Looking back one of 2 things happened to RJ in that situation. Either he got blackballed by the project manager or our HR people were being lazy, incompetent, bastards (or both). I definitely don't think he got a fair shake in that situation because there is a certifiable moron from the project who is still with the company somehow.

I never said you were going to get fucked over. Just put your own interest first and look out for yourself and if you think someone is blowing sunshine up your ass, they probably are.

Take heed kids, put your career first. Not saying don't be a team player but I am saying think big picture in terms of your career. Always think about your career so that you can get where you wanna be. No one else is thinking about what's best for your career, they're just trying to cover their own asses.
