im agonising now over what to do!
my current boss refused to take me off probation but also refused to tell me why.(i feel he is simply hedging his bets - if something better came along id have gone by now and i think the feeling is mutual) i have been there for almost 1 year now, its a poorly paid position involving every saturday and a job ive got 10 years experience in, and its a long way from where i live meaning a commute daily.
he is adverstising for 2 other positions and no one is taking the jobs he is offering even in this climate! he has had 3 people turn his offers of employment down. i can see why but he cant.
before i went for this job, i went for one at a local gps practice. in the event i didnt get the job id gone for but the practice manager rang me to say she was very impressed with me and would be in touch if another position became available. i thought "yeah yeah" as you do.
she has just phoned me to offer me a job. even better - she says there are 2 positions so i can more or less take my pick of the hours as she is willing to rejig it for me, and the money is better than where i am and id have no commute as its more or less on my door step.
this looks like an easy decision - but i actually like my current boss and i will feel absolutely terrible about leaving him in the lurch - and i really would be. i am single -handedly running one of his concerns as he cannot get any more staff. also technically because i am still on probation i only have to give 1 weeks notice. (ha ha ha not that i would.) but it will leave him up the creek without a paddle which ever way i look at it. saying that i know he would have no hesitation of getting rid of me if he had to. so do i look after no 1 and take the local better paid position? would it be a Very Bad Thing to do?
