Sorry to disappoint you. He's being nice not flirting

Thank him for his consistently positive feedback and ask him to formalize it in your performance management tool. Remind him that a good word from someone in his 'position of authority' (key words) would go a long way. If he's sincere, you capitalize on it. If not, he backs off. You might also consider sending a note to HR with a few specific comments he has made and those key words so they know to look for the performance feedback (or you've covered yourself if he doesn't stop).

SC1- thank you - hes been a great mentor and advocate for my career at the firm but sometimes the things he says sounds borderline flirting and i just get awkward and not know how to handle it which is why id not want to goto Hr i think

Obviously we're all outsiders but it sounds like he's being genuine in his support for you. You may be over thinking it. Only you can decide when it crosses the line. I encourage you to consider both steps, but at least ask for the feedback using the words 'position of authority' so he hears your message. Good luck

Definitely sounds like you're overthinking it. Obviously we aren't there, but saying something that is "maybe kinda sorta flirty if I choose to take it that way" is not something you want to go to HR with. If he's not making unwanted advances or inappropriate comments/contact I would say that it's innocent and you hurt both his and your career by making anything of it. It's not the preferred way to say "thanks for being such a good mentor to me."

Be carful not to ruin someone's reputation because he "may be borderline flirting".

I have been at the current hospital I work at in administration for about 11 years now. I am treated great, love the people and love the hours. They allow me to really create my own schedule based on my needs and have taken great care of me over the past 11 years. The only problem is that our CEO has stated that we will never be a company that gives yearly raises, merit based or cost of living. I have been offered another job with a competing hospital but scared to leave. Advise?
