In response to Quake Show
I get what you're saying, and hope you're right, but I fear you might be a bit naive. Steve's a good guy, but, like any of us, if he sees truly significant advantages for him and his family to taking the Penn State job, he'll take it. He'll feel bad, but that won't change his decision. And I wouldn't blame him. It's not reasonable to expect somebody, regardless of career field, to turn down a valuable opportunity out of loyalty to a current employer. Employers certainly don't hesitate to cut employees loose if they see that as being in their interest.
All that said, I'm skeptical that PSU will offer the job to Steve, and am even more skeptical that he'd see that job as being sufficiently attractive to justify taking it.
I guess we'll see.
