I left my hugely stressful HR job last year, I was carrying lots of stressful high profile projects on my own with no support. My boss was lovely but vague and not particularly interested. I was working crazy hours, terrified of making a big mistake through lack of guidance and ended up burnt out.
I've moved to a new job and they were lovely, I was so lucky to work here and my boss is great. However, there have been massive cuts in new company and resource for our team has been completely cut. I have been lucky to find a job in a new team at the same company, its a huge learning curve and learning new skills. It's part time but coincides with me paying off my mortgage so I am looking forward to the worklife balance.
My current boss has found some money to keep me in my old job to make me full time across 2 roles, its to continue to work on a large reconfiguration that I've already done ground work on. I said I would consider it but it's a huge project and I don't think the hours will be enough, plus I'm going to be learning a new job.
I feel torn as my boss is beyond lovely, I'm going to say thank you but no thank you. I'm generally a people pleaser and I'm terrified of being burned out again.
I'm feeling incredibly guilty for my current boss. He's such a great kind guy. I have training /qualifications that would support the reconfiguration that I know he would struggle to get elsewhere.
I feel like I've lurched from one nightmare job to potentially another so I'm keen to take control of the situation. Is this an acceptable decision or would people generally keep going with 2 roles?
