Steve DiGioia

…or does it even matter? This original article was written by Steve DiGioia. After your star performer quit and left you high and dry you insisted on keeping that manager position open for three weeks. Face it; your pride got the best of you. “How dare he walk out like that? Besides, we didn’t need him anyway”. Boy, how wrong you were. No emails went out about why he left and there was no mention to the middle managers of what happened.
