My close(ish) confidants in my industry will be understanding; and those outside of my inner circle will be polite and cordial about it; but behind closed doors people will judge you, and use it against you.

Perhaps we simply run in different circles.

If a company is going to judge me in that way then I wouldn't want to work for them anyways. Would be like dodging a bullet for me.

Maybe I do run in different circles too. I have only worked for small companies where upper management knows me and values me. I'm not just a faceless employee and I wouldn't have it any other way.
