I think it is a wonderful and helpful story in the exact moment she signs the contract. Before that moment I would say, don't count your chickens until they are hatched. Like I said in my first comment, learning this simple lesson cost me a lot of pain... I never talk about a project I'm working on to anyone... the energy goes out of the mouth and flutters off.

Oh, EXCELLENT point! Having agreed with you, though, I have to admit that in my last job, I was perhaps letting my personal life take over and I lost my enthusiasm for the place too soon, maybe. Then again, the company underwent huge changes as they grew, and the people who tried to warn the powers-that-be that the place was losing its soul were promptly gotten rid of. That helped kill the little morale and company spirit that had been left. It helped me lose interest, for sure. So it's a two-way street.

It's very important that we remind our bosses of what made us want to join a company. It's very important that we stay vocal and concerned when we find a company we love to be a part of. If, however, the company decides to go corporate once it's grown to a certain point, well....one must be vocal while walking out, I guess.

Sorry this comment makes little sense, you've just made me think about the differences between small companies and large ones, and growing companies and settled ones. Given all that thought, however, I'd say my advice still stands, yes. Thanks for pointing that out.

Good for you, Lis. I couldn't

Good for you, Lis. I couldn't help thinking as I read your list, "Hell, this is sound advice even for someone who already has a permanent position." People spend half their waking hours at work; life is so much richer when you actually enjoy doing your job, not just having one.
