Burning Bridges

One associate at a San Diego law firm decided to go out in style:
In what appeared to be a farewell e-mail last week, a Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker associate wrote that he hoped the "smoke from any bridges I burn today [may] be seen far and wide."

Evans' message said he was moving on to become a "trophy husband," a decision that was "quite easy" to make and "a step up from my current situation."

The message offered a nod to Paul Hastings, and cited "wonderful friendships" made at the firm. But then Evans -- or someone at his desk -- went negative. "I am no longer comfortable working for a group largely populated by gossips, backstabbers and Napoleonic personalities," the message said.

"In fact, I dare say that I would rather be dressed up like a pinata and beaten than remain with this group any longer."
I guess he won't be using them as a reference.
