Switching Jobs
Anyone else get horribly nervous going in to tell their boss they are switching positions? I don't know what it is but I just am super nervous, my heart is going 90 mph, and I feel like I am going to start sweating for no reason.

Funny thing is I hate the job, the boss, and several of the people I work with. You would think I would be dancing the jig right now. I am not even leaving the company, just moving to a position I think will be better for me.



On another note I am curious how other people would handle another situation I may find myself in.

So I believe I have a good chance of getting another job working with another company but I know they drag their feet for a long while and it is far from certain. I worked for them before and several of the people are pushing the boss to hire me back. I would prefer this job most likely but didn't want to turn down the other one to only be left in the wind considering how much I hate my current position. I don't think I have ever been more unhappy in a position than I have this one. Would anyone not take the current one offered knowing you would take the other one if and when it came up?

I'd definitely change positions. There's nothing to worry about. Just give them ample time for you to make the switch then never look back.

This.

It's not unprofessional to do what's best for you.

Hell, it's stupid not to...

Take the job. If you get offered the better job, take it too. Never apologize for being upwardly mobile.

Since you have not been offered the job, I cannot advise you to take it.

I got an offer letter today from a company I really wanted to work for and signed it. Once the background check is done, I will walk into my current bosses office with a big smile on my face and tell him I'm hitting the road. It is going to be a happy day with no regrets.

I always use job offers as a negotiation for raises at my current job.

I'm pretty sure every one of my employees already know the answer before they try that. Not that it's always, "Well I wish you luck", but for those who get mad when I say that, it's sort of funny to tell them I really meant it, "good luck."

But if you're good, it's a smart play...

It's all about bettering yourself and your employer at the same time.

Nothing wrong with "x wants me to work for them and they offered me y, I'd prefer to stay, but only at a new pay/compensation rate of something equal or greater to y"
