Here is an argument for NOT burning bridges: I worked with someone who no matter what you said or did, made me feel disliked, dismissed and unappreciated. I remained civil unconditionally and that person eventually left his place of employment. Several years later, we were brought together in a new venture. The person was now in a position to share mutual business benefits and passed them along to me as a result of my previous unconditional respect and appreciation.

Another way to look at it is by not burning your bridges you give yourself a way out, then your not committing as fully as you could have. In other words, when you’ve got no escape route there’s no other option but to fight.

if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. if the bridge never existed to begin with, it can’t be burned. this entire article is not about burning bridges AT ALL.

yes, the points are valid but the thesis is flawed.
