I mean, generally speaking, I do think it's better not to publicly humiliate anyone if you can avoid it. The fact that some people think this doesn't apply to "underlings" doesn't make it any less true as a general rule.

Yeah, I left my last company after almost the entire dev team was poached. And a coworker of mine who moved to a much better position at a much better company got me an interview to run their mobile app team. And it was a no-brainer to take the offer. But I never burned bridges. I spent my last two weeks documenting all the things I had built that were living inside my head. And 6 months later the CEO of my previous company sent me a video begging me to come back, with a “name your price” salary to be director of engineering. I could have taken it for more money, but it was an ad agency, and incredibly stressful. So I kindly turned down the offer in person because burning bridges is just never a good idea
