I’ve posted before about an amazing job offer I’ve had which meant I’d leave my current employer after a considerable period of employment.
I have also had a MAJOR operation for which I am still off sick.
I handed in my resignation and gave my required months notice. Whilst off sick, with the intention of not returning to my current and long-term employer.
Since I handed in my letter, I have been constantly contacted by my immediate boss, HR Director and MD, asking me to reconsider my resignation and please please not leave.
My MD thinks I am making a rash decision and is blaming my post-op hormone explosion for my rash decision.
So far, I’ve had two visits at home and the MD wants to visit again. Probably to try and persuade me again.
I truly never expected this reaction to my resignation. I’m flattered that my company still want me to work for them. I am also aware that they are acting in their own selfish interest as my job is specialised and I retain a lot of valuable information. But I am also feeling slightly intimidated and pressured by them.
Whilst I have no intention of staying with my current employer, I don’t want to burn bridges with them and leave under a cloud. I feel so torn. I want to be left alone and for them to respect and accept my decision.
Any advice?
