Link: Infamous Email Writers Aren’t Always Killing Their Careers After All

It’s the latest entry in the annals of bridge burning: After two interviews in January, Dianna Abdala emailed Will Korman Feb. 3 that his job offer “would neither fulfill me nor support the lifestyle I am living.” She followed up with a voicemail Feb. 5 saying much the same thing.
Mr. Korman, who had already ordered Ms. Abdala’s business cards and believed she had agreed on a start date, wasn’t happy. Certainly, he thought, her rejection warranted more than an email and a Sunday night voicemail. “It smacks of immaturity and is quite unprofessional,” he wrote back to her. “I am extremely disappointed in the way this played out.” But he did add, “I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.”
Replied Ms. Abdala, a 24-year-old law school graduate: “A real lawyer would have put the contract into writing and not exercised any such reliance until he did so.”
Mr. Korman: “Thank you for the refresher course on contracts… Do you really want to start [annoying] more experienced lawyers at this early stage of your career?”
Ms. Abdala: “bla bla bla.”
