I’ve been offered a new job which would be a step up and told work and given notice. My manager has clearly taken it badly as I hold a high workload and complex projects, and unfortunately we are short staffed as it is. It’s getting to the point where it’s making me feel so guilty and uncomfortable I’m not sure what to do or say anymore.
I never leave a role without ensuring it’s in a good place etc and that’s what I plan to do here as I don’t want to burn bridges, I like my job but there’s no room for progression, they can’t give me that here and I want that for my career development.
I’ve made a joke about it with my manager but I just feel crap. Is there anything I can do so the next month doesn’t just feel awkward because I’m leaving? If I’m honest I didn’t realise I was “valued” this much. I’m feeling nervous as it is stepping up in a new role without the guilt of letting people down.
