And I have a new job, signed the contract this week. I dont know whether to retract though?
One issue is, that the new job Im going ti isn't ideal (office of two, so pretty isolated, plus lower pay, but better less overtime needed).
The job I've resigned from have surprisingly been very eager to keep me. However, if I were to stay, there is a bully I report to who will be unchanged.
He wants to keep me, presumably because I work hard and do as he asks. HR have also asked me to stay. They have offered me more money and less overtime required. HR are aware of his behaviour and would keep an eye, of course he may leave now or may stay for years, his bullying is subtle and no one really wants to call him out, so staff turnover is quite high.
Do I retract my resignation as they have asked, stay on and hope the bully leaves? Or move on from this toxic situation, to a less than ideal job but knowing I am free to look for another role if the new one doesn't work out? I have lost a lot of confidence since working for him.
