Help. How bad did I botch this?

I have a tentative job offer from a larger hospital. Today I went to my manager and asked if she would be a reference. She said yes, asked if everything was okay, and we talked for a bit. I basically said that I didn't think there were many opportunities for advancement where I am now and that I wasn't unhappy where I am now, but I was ready for a higher acuity level.

My partner is furious with me. They think that I have basically signed my own death warrant for my current job and that I might get fired at any time since they know I am looking for other jobs now. I don't honestly know if that will happen because my manager seemed supportive and understanding. I guess I can't rule it out though.

Please, I just need some reassurance here. I'm really scared I might lose my job and now the new one might not work out. I realize now I shouldn't have ever said anything to my manager and I am very very very afraid of the repercussions of this. :(

    At our work place we have anti retaliation rules in place so that managers can't fire us for job hunting. However you are now on the radar. Little mess ups like forgetting to clock in or out for lunch that were overlooked before May now be a write up. Just make sure you cross your Ts and dot your Is. Your manager will hopefully be understanding. Still give two weeks official notice and leave on a good note.

    Am off the topic here, but I suggest you change your user name to something more anonymous. There's no such thing as privacy on the "net and you just don't want everyone following your private life. Also you never know who is answering your posts.

    Just giving you the heads up.

    Don't worry about it.

    people come, people go. Most managers realize that as a fact of life and wouldn't even think of retaliating.

    As a manager, whenever I was faced with this situation, I was always supportive. Many times, the 'former' employee would be back after a few months when the new job didn't work out as well as anticipated. Staff turnover is a fact of life.

    Molly Hooper is a character's name from BBC Sherlock. But I guess it could also be OP's real name :)
