I'm in a bit of a dilema, I started a new job back in September and up until Christmas I hated it. It was a nightmare, the boss was a complete pest and really was quite horrible to me. Given that I'm a very hard worker, quick learner and very good at what I do I just couldn't understand what the problem was. I've since come to realise that he is just a complete control freak and really doesn't cope with change well. The person I took over from had been there for 10 years and left on bad terms, so guess he'd had his hands burnt.
Still since Christmas I think I've finally proven myself and he's come to accept me. Maybe he was just testing me, I don't know!
Anyway, my dilema is that I went for a job interview before Christmas and didn't get it, the woman I was to replace wanted me, but her top boss in London wasn't happy I had enough experience. Which was fine, I didn't. However the woman has managed to convince him that they need somebody they can mould to her role and teach her way (she wants to retire the end of this year). Sooo...the big boss is flying down tomorrow and they want to meet me?!
I guess that's good, but my new job has settled now and they have had two major people hand their notice in, in the last fortnight. If I were to go as well it would be a major blow to them. My conscience is too soft for my own good.
Really don't know what to do? It would mean a £3k pay cut, but about 40 miles a day less to do. And would save me about 2 hours a day travelling time.
Argh!!! I ended up regreting leaving one job, do I want to risk making the same mistake again? They may not even offer me the job. I feel guilty, like I'm descieving my current bosses bu just going along to meet with these guys.
