So I'm a contracted employee in an office setting. I actually enjoy what I do, even though some people in the office are not enjoyable to work with. I'm in between contracts right now, and I go back to work on Monday. A few days ago I was contacted to gauge my interest in a promotion of sorts. I would take a pay cut, but it comes with benefits. I said I would need more information (salary, benefit type, hours, job description etc) before I could make an informed decision, but said I was interested.
The other day I got a call saying they're going ahead and offering me the position. The initial start date was supposed to be today, but I requested they change it so I could start Monday – the day I was originally going back to work anyway. The person on the phone sent me an offer letter to sign, but there was no job description (I did get answers on the other stuff though). I emailed back to ask for one and was told there wasn't one ready yet and they would send me one as soon as there was. Mind you this offer letter has to be signed by Friday.
Meanwhile my boss that I work directly under has been pressuring me about taking the job. I know she has good intentions but I am also perfectly capable of making my own decisions. So today I get a text from one of my other coworkers saying congratulations on the new position. My boss is supposed to be the only other person to even know I've been offered the position.
Like I said, her intentions are good, but I'm upset that she's going around telling people when I haven't even signed anything or seen a job description yet. All of this is happening in my off time, when I'm not at work and trying to savor my last few days before I have to go back to work. I know I need to get better at boundaries and stop answering phone calls from work when I'm at home. But this is very frustrating for me. Is this something that I should address with my boss? I'm also supposed to be dog sitting for her on Saturday (not even sure I should be doing that but I already agreed) and I don't want it to be awkward. There is more to the story but it's more than I care to think about or type right now. Rant over, thanks for reading.
