Hello. Feel such a baby writing this but here goes...
About 6 weeks ago managed to escape from a job that I hated to get to a job I enjoy - all level transfers. However, yesterday the new boss in charge of the previosu job rang me, essentially, to headhunt me!!!!!! Apparently feels that I have the know how to pass on to new staff who are now doing my previous job.
Feeling a little bold, I said that I would only be interested in it was on promotion. Got a call today to say that it would be temp promotion for a few months with likelihood of it becoming permanent.
Now, I should be very happy but......
-
I had a very unhappy time for the last 2 years - however this was due to appalling management rather than the job itself.
-
Am now doing a job that I enjoy which involves being out of the office for 3 to 4 days per week - extremely flexible with time.
-
I may actually be slightly worse off with new job since I get generous mileage allowance at present.
-
Am a bit of a baby about taking on new responsibilty - prefer to be a big fish in small pond. Not quite the right analogy but like the feeling of knowing what I'm doing.
On the plus side, the future boss is a really nice bloke and has stated that I can be based wherever I like for my own convenience.
However, he wants a decision by tomorrow - wanted it now really but have stalled for a day.
So, why am I such a baby? Please tell my why this is a good thing? Need a good talking to.
Thanks
