Torn on what to do and really need advice. My coworker put in their two weeks notice yesterday, they don’t have anything lined up but have already started applying.
We’ve both been dissatisfied due to the lack of proper training/onboarding, ever growing list of responsibilities (with minimal to no guidance on how tasks should be accomplished), and a very heavy workload. When we were hired the company was aware of our lack of industry knowledge but we had transferable skills/experience for the role.
I started applying to other roles over a month ago because I was put on a PIP and have been interviewing.
Multiple questions:
-
Should I take a job that isn’t the ideal role (doesn’t align with career/professional goals but offers benefits and a better WLB) but that would get me OUT of this current company/role? Even if I’m continuing to apply/look for other jobs?
-
Should I let my current employer know that I’m also not intending to stay so they can actively start looking for replacements both my coworker and I ? The department is made up of the two of us and our manager. I don’t want to burn bridges but also know that I don’t want to stay in this industry.
