It's a very delicate and awkward situation, and not purely about the $$$. |
wow this situation is f*d up... I feel like I should be on the sidelines with some popcorn watching this but unfortunately it's me.
1.Got an offer, asked for a day. Turns out after I asked for a day they hired someone to start immediately (I would have had to give a notice period). The potential boss' behaviours (not detailed here) indicates I probably would have hated them despite a well-paid FT contract role.
2. Still awaiting direction from other place that I had a 2nd interview with, but HR there is notoriously slow. I'm getting nervous this won't amount to anything.
3. Current part time contract position... boss stops me making decisions, says no don't do that... fast forward a few weeks suddenly I'm to blame when I was the one to bring a valid solution (to a problem that existed prior to my arrival) that he refused to implement. Just had my hours for next week chopped.
Somehow I feel like I'm in a game of Russian roulette. Just hope I'm standing at the end of this insane stressful process.
