Fifteen years ago, I lost a job. The timing was bad. My wife and I had just purchased our first home, and we were expecting our first child. As editor of a small publication, I had refused to spike a story we were set to publish (it involved questionable political dealings of a prominent politician). Spiking the story would have been easy, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. It felt wrong. So I prepared a resignation letter, hoping it wouldn’t come to that. (It did.)
