Once you've gone that route they rarely move you as they really just look at you as a whiner. If you really want more challenge..take up the challenge of the new job and the new boss. What's the worst that can happen? You are unhappy, unrecognized for your contribution and go looking for another position...hmmm.. seems to me you are already there.<BR/>Good luck with your decision. I know it's tough to risk for change but most often it is worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001832409983557001.post-80208343208875952002008-04-02T09:42:00.000-05:002008-04-02T09:42:00.000-05:00You guys are great!

Maybe higher pay or benefits or something in writing about the next promotion to come up... I dunno.<BR/><BR/>As I was reading, I thought two things:<BR/>1) Maybe you weren't promoted because you *are* so good at handling the phones and they don't want to lose you in that position.<BR/>2) Or maybe you're not! ;) (that's meant to be funny, but honestly, I don't know you so how the heck would I know?)<BR/><BR/>I think you should bring it to him if he's as good a guy as you say. BUT...<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure you should go with "jerk for a boss" instead. <BR/><BR/>I think you should use this situation to feel out your current boss re: what your future is with him. You've been presented with a real offer that you can use as leverage in a discussion with him, even if you have no intention of *really* taking that offer. If your boss doesn't come through, you can still tell him you decided not to transfer and stay with him for a bit more while you look for another job <I>elsewhere.</I><BR/><BR/>If you just decided to get a job elsewhere, you'd never be able to have this conversation and know if your boss would have come through for you. This is the perfect opportunity to find that out. Use this to see what your real future is in this place, and get it in writing immediately. Then stay where you are, or go someplace better -without a new boss that you already have bad vibes about! I think your instincts about him are probably accurate.<BR/><BR/>And don't worry about screwing over your current boss. He just screwed you over and didn't have any problems with that whatsoever. If "its business" for him, it can be the same for you.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049145554312639897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001832409983557001.post-3191912443811822042008-04-01T22:43:00.000-05:002008-04-01T22:43:00.000-05:00Ladies?I guess I'll sit this one out then. :0(Ladies?<BR/><BR/>I guess I'll sit this one out then. :0(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
