There will always be people that totally lack integrity but this is an opportunity for all of us who believe in integrity and honesty to do the right thing whatever the consequences.<br /><br />Although not directly mentioned, we all need to be humble when the customer is not happy. I have had a number of situations that I have dealt with recently where I was the client and my job was not satisfactory in some minor to major ways. All it takes to smooth things over is a little humility from the professional.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413136704260241382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-13349881726811152242009-07-16T22:42:09.282-04:002009-07-16T22:42:09.282-04:00sooooo, the new catch phrase is "don't bu...sooooo, the new catch phrase is "don't burn bridges..nuke em'"<br /><br />hehe, just kidding. :) Though..it does have a nice ring to it!Carrie Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765896032354669368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-69108775463828174682009-07-16T02:20:59.305-04:002009-07-16T02:20:59.305-04:00This is pretty deep, and pretty true.

I used to be one of those people who puts truth above all else, but i've hurt a lot of people that way. Fact is people just don't want to hear the truth. <br /><br />When it comes to me, I always demand the truth, no matter how much it hurts, and I value the people in my life who care enough to tell it to me. <br /><br />But when it comes to other people, I guess my answer to 'would you burn bridges' would be yes, but wear protective clothing first, lots fo it. :-)3CBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793247623092468251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-36015263208596637282009-07-13T19:37:58.641-04:002009-07-13T19:37:58.641-04:00This is almost about burning bridges.

I wasn't rude or nasty, it just turned out that way. It was an important client regarding money and I think about it now that jobs are fewer (hopefully for not much longer), but I'm still glad they're not a client even though it's been tough.Rich Greenhttp://www.rjgreenphoto.comnoreply@blogger.com
