Have you ever looked for another job while holding a job?

[J-Mann]

Yes, and my managers knew it. They had brought in a new superstar manager who was a "firecracker" that we found out about via LinkedIn ... not because they had the courtesy to tell us. She came into the company like a bull in a china shop, and after her third day, I told them I'd be looking elsewhere.

I don't know if they thought I was bluffing or just emotional, but -- in retrospect -- they were very courteous to keep me on board. Two weeks later I gave my notice.

Their new superstar was let go within six months for driving the organization into the ground.
