    In this case, he was never going to see these people again, so no need to play the neurotypical game of lying to spare their feelings.

      Fair enough. You never know though. A place that fired me a years back in a city far from where I live now, is now my primary vendor. I need to work with them closely. So I am happy I didn’t burn too many bridges on the way out.

      neurotypical game of lying to spare their feelings

      you say this like not deliberately hurting people’s feelings for zero reason at no cost to yourself is a bad thing

          so you’re saying you’re willing to hurt 20 people x amount in order to save yourself y amount of suffering. Literally nothing more neurotypical than that.

            That’s not what I said. I just said the cost was significant, because you said “at no cost”. I didn’t say I would never pay it.

            Also, twice now you’ve relied on wild hyperbolic statements to make your point. If I may offer some advice - I think avoiding those is better online, as they makes your comments seem like emotional knee-jerk, which undermines your credibility.

        I love how you just COMPLETELY ignore the fact that the people have obviously not been enjoyable to be around for an extended amount of time

        Having to spend time around people you don’t enjoy? perfectly fine
        making those people a little sad once? how dare you
