My role was advertised ongoing but they offered it as a one year contract. When I rejected that, they changed it to 3 yrs, which I accepted as I needed a job. From my first meeting with the boss 3 mths in I started asking about whether, now that they knew me, would they change it to ongoing, as advertised. I was told executives are on 3 yr contracts. However, I’m not an executive and not on the leadership team.
Anyway, 2 years later, after raising it repeatedly in every meeting with him,
I just got another job- ongoing, on the leadership team, and 20k pay rise.
Suddenly he sends me an email saying he wants to make me ongoing, paperwork to follow.
But it’s too late. I’ve been through the dying phases of this bad relationship where I’ve lost intrinsic motivation and hope in this company and there’s no coming back from that.
