First - this Rider guy is acting ridiculously considering his position. I would never in my life have thought that someone who was only offered a job, and not given one yet would be talking to current AE employees like that.... or even just talking like that on a public board - one that HR does read. Doesn't seem very smart. I'd be very gracious if I were you. Jobs are not easy to get right now, and you have a lot of people that are envious of your conditional letter of employment. Do I need to define conditional for you? I'm sure HR could find someone to replace your name if they wanted to.

Second, can we try to keep this topic in good spirits and somewhat on task? I've been enjoying the posts for months now, and I'd hate to see it get shut down because of some trivial BS.
