So I’ve been on a contract since July of last year. The company seems great and I like my coworkers for the most part. My supervisor recently announced she is pregnant and will be going on maternity leave in June. My contract is up in July. I’ve noticed she’s been a little difficult lately, e.g. will tell me she wants one thing then chance her mind to something else, or the opposite of what she wanted originally. Not sure if she’s doing this intentionally or it’s just the hormones.

Higher ups on the larger team want to train me on more things, so that’s a positive. Overall, the feedback on my performance has been positive. Is this something I should be concerned about?

The specificity some of you give in posts, are you not worried how easy it’d be to recognize you if she read this?

My manager is going on maternity leave too

Hello Guys,
Need small advice,
I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.

Not sure whether to be honest or not in this situation. I have decided that I want to leave my job and do a masters degree. I’m planning to leave my job at the end of June, should I warn my boss now so she can start hiring? I don’t want her to be blindsided by my decision and hiring is very slow at the moment. Plus if they hire someone I can train the transition will be easier? But I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot if they were thinking or giving me a pay rise or promoting me?
