What does being staffed on a project have to do with accepting a new job?

“Got an offer but I’m currently employed elsewhere” 😑

likehelpfulfunny

Was worried about project transition.

I just signed my offer and put in my two weeks while staffed. I informed my project manager and we identified a backfill and put together a transition plan. No hard feelings on either side.

That’s good to know!

A little more info would be helpful...

Key is to be professional. If you intend on leaving then give two weeks and work on a transition plan. If the recruiter moved too fast then feel free to pass on the offer, you have gainful employment and there are always other opportunities out there. Don’t let recruiters push you around. Best of luck!

like

Question is why you have an offer. Answer is you intend to quit. So quit! Or maybe you want to think twice about the offer. Please do not bring the offer back to current firm and hold your current employer hostage.

I was reached out by a recruiter months ago and was just curious about what available out there in the market. Did not expect them to bring me to that position given all the uncertainties due to COVID19...

+1 with A1 unless the company is a lot smaller than Guidehouse just create a plan to transition from your role on the project and go to the other company. Personally with all the uncertainty I would ensure that the new company was as stable as possible and there was no chance they would rescind or postpone. Congrats on the offer!

Thank you for your kind words!

I left a great team and high-visibility, high impact project with a client that loved me for a few more $$.

Had I stayed, I would have been festering on comp and constantly worried about my financial future.
Since I've left, I feel financially secure but listless and bored with a lame team on what I've discovered is a skeezy upsell.

Anyone else had to deal with this? Did you boomerang back?

Thanks!

Client team and our designers got into a shouting match today during final review of the deliverable (client started it). Is it too much to ask that people be professional at the office- ugh.

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?
