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.
