The Dendrite Twelve Step Program

Our apologies to any and all real twelve step programs.

  1. We admitted we were penniless compared to John Bailye - that our careers had become unmanageable
  2. Came to believe that a recruiting agency (or other ex-Dendriter) better connected than ourselves could restore our careers to sanity
  3. Made a decision to turn our will and careers over to the care of better management, as we understand it
  4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of all the other jobs available
  5. Admitted to HR, to ourselves and to other human beings the exact reasons for leaving
  6. Were entirely ready to have a resignation letter to remove all these defects of career
  7. Humbly asked HR to remove our names from the payroll
  8. Made a list of all job opportunities we had missed and became willing to pursue them all
  9. Made direct applications to such job opportunities whenever possible, except when to do so would implicate them or others
  10. Continued to take professional inventory and when a better job opportunity came along, promptly jumped at it.
  11. Sought through interviews and follow-up letters to improve our contact with better management, as we understand it, hoping for an offer letter and gladly accepting the offer.
  12. Having had a professional awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to all Dendriters/Ex-Dendriters (consultants not included), and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
