New Month, New Job

Pretty self explanatory really, but in my usual style, I'll elaborate.

Came in this morning and informed Current Boss (CB) that I had been offered more money, and I planned to take the new job. He took me into a meeting room and said, effectively:

  • If you take the new job, the relationship between our company and theirs will be affected, (which involves a substantial amount of lost revenue on both sides).
  • I shouldn't be thinking about money, I should think about what my current company stands for and what it can offer me.
  • That they'd just sacked off a potentially good applicant because I said I'd take their offer of a new role, so if I left they'd be screwed.
  • I should go and think about it.

So, I went and thought about it - about what he'd just said to me. He'd put me in a position that wasn't very pleasant, and ultimately, I don't want to work for someone who was happy to lay that kind of shit on me, and pay me crap money for the pleasure.

Therefore, notice was given, and PNB - who is now NB - was informed.

I feel like a weight has been lifted, and I have finally made a decision about my career which has nothing to do with my current company.

So, here's to February - my last month with CB and current job! Woo hoo!!
