• “This place is going under anyway.” Even if it’s true, it’s a bad idea and you’ll look like a jerk.
• “I should have left years ago.” All that does is make people wonder why you stayed so long. You’ll just look disgruntled.
• “I quit before they could fire me.” That just makes you sound impulsive and not in control.
• “Let me give you some advice.” Anything you have to say is likely to be discounted. You’re better off choosing something that person did best and letting them know you admired that.
• “Expect to hear from my lawyer.” You’ve just ensured you won’t receive a positive reference. You’ve also just given them some extra time to lawyer up and prepare their defense. Keep any legal plans to yourself.
