Long story short.
Been put in a different department at work very temporarily . One I would LOVE to work in. Lots of encouraging things said about me.. "we want to pinch you" (big boss).. "You have to come and work with us" (fellow colleagues to team leader).. "If I can get you down here I will" (team leader).. "we are so happy to have you back with us" (leader of adjacent team, I had done a few days in department previously on dif job) .. Etc etc, lots said lots of times. But I am feeling really unsettled and.. sad.. Not because I think they were playing me along.. But just because it has given me a hope I am scared will be dashed. It's not that I hate my current job either, I don't.. On a good day I absolutely love it.. But physically a new one in new department would be much easier on me (as well as being the type of work I really enjoy, and I think am good at, and I already partially do in my current department ), and that is a huge consideration for me.
I don't know what to think. It's completely thrown me for a loop and shaken/unnerved me.
I guess really I am scared to hope/believe it.
Anyone been there? Any advice. Particularly if you are in management etc
