But don't burn the bridge by destroying a relationship." works well. That way if the job doesn't end well, but you don't rock the boat further, then ultimately you win because there is no black(er) mark against you  Shawn: But first consider the fact that now a lot of people own homes, and are not mobile like they used to be, and are stuck in a bad economy
