Discussion

Torn

After being in a job that I hate for two years, and searching for a new job for almost two years, I was recently offered a 7a-7p job in L & D. I accepted. Since I am a manager, I had to turn in a 30 day notice at my current job. Of course my current employer was not happy with my decision to leave. I have two bosses, a business manager and a nursing manager. My nursing manager was understanding as I stated that I wanted to have a better life balance than my current 50 hr work week. My business manager met with me yesterday and we discussed my decision. I explained to him that I don't like babysitting people and that I am bored in my role. He asked me if I were to have more projects, would I be happier and stay? I agreed. I lost a lot sleep last night because I reflected back on the conversation and felt pressured to stay, although I was looking forward to my new job. I have been very anxious about the decision over the last two weeks because I am taking a cut in pay. If it wasnt for the cut in pay I would jump on the new job. So when he approached me yesterday to discuss, I hesitated and verbally agreed. Now I regret that conversation with him. I have not rescinded my resignation yet, and really don't want to. Any thoughts on how to address with my boss?

    Please stick to your guns...don't buy into their guilt trip. I would bet if you stayed you'd be pi&@ at yourself, the same ol' s%*t will resume, you'll now have more projects (AKA work) for the same pay and in a job you hate.

    ... He asked could I give it 6 more months so that they could replace me? He finally left it with think about it over the weekend. Give them time to replace me.....

    Hmm

    So you continue at a job you hate for another 6 months? Why would you???

    .Any job can be filled in far less than 6 months, unless it's a job no one else wants.

    Say they find someone else in 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, whatever... where does that leave you? You're now out of a job, and the current offer you have is now gone with the wind. Unless they plan to pay you a HUGE bonus to stay on, Why would you?

    Will they be taking any meaningful steps to make the job more palatable? Will anything change? Dos it even matter? From what you've posted, I'd say you're done. Time to stick a fork in it and move on :twocents:

    Run! Run like the wind, sweetie. I stayed in my own personal hell for 6 years and it probably took double that off my life. Don't look back; you can bet they won't.
