Only burn bridges when no other way.

I learned to swim. Bridges be damned!

I had a friend say this to me a very long time ago. It seemed that most cynical advice I had heard but I have changed my mind

I was in sales and management for many years didnt burn bridges but could ignore them or not help them as much as I did, usually they asked what was wrong.

That’s right. Someone is likely to call your X boss when applying for another job.

Yes. I hate to do it, but if I'm being done wrong, especially by someone who's supposed to be a friend, I won't stand for it.

Sometimes you really think you have to out of frustration, but it isn't very wise, I think.

No reason to burn bridges

I'm a notorious bridge burner.
