Depends on your job.

That is true. The problem if you stay is they feel like you have a wondering eye.
My wife when were single used to yell at me for wearing mirrored sunglasses because she couldn't see if I was checking out others. For her I stopped wearing them so I knew she had me at that point.

Should have messed with her and wore them constantly.

She didn't rant about she would just give subtle digs like looking at them and fix her hair like she was looking in a mirror.

Wow sounds exactly what I have been going through and still am. My current company has a 'temporary possibly more permanent' fix, but if that goes away I will be looking again, this time more aggressively. Some companies understand and will schedule interviews in your favor, but with the job market on their side most will not so its a tough situation. If you have children, they get sick too, and the flu is going around pretty bad nowdays. If not thats out the window as a reason. Also sometimes you need a docs appointment but they also need lab work and tests done. At times a follow up to adjust your medicine levels. Then the dentist, a check up, but they find a cavity and you have to go in again. But suddenly a toothache happens and you may need to go in suddenly. In the end it seems if you give the two week notice and do your best to wrap things up and transition to your replacement, the former employer will appreciate that. Even offer assistance after you leave to help with soothing the bridge burning. Hope they do not take you up on it though haha.

Welp, I got the job.

Sitting here crying at my desk right now (man tears). This is one of the best days of my life.

Hi Dante84,

Feedback was positive!

We'd like to make you an offer to start on 2/10/14 if that is at all possible. I should have an offer letter to you in the next day or so, I will do my best. :)

Can you confirm if that start date works for you?

Congratulations! I know the team is excited to have you join. I am waiting on our CFO to return from his travel, but should have you an offer letter to review in the next day.

Congratulations!

So what you're saying is that it wasn't you but rather MTG all along?


Congrats!

Congrats. Remember they always like the new guy who brings donuts or treats of some kind his first week.

Rain Man 01-28-2014 11:08 AM

Congrats, dude. Remember us as you climb the corporate ladder and perhaps need market research or demographics.

Dante84 01-28-2014 11:09 AM

Thanks bros. I might vomit.

You want to make a strong first impression, but also a good one. I would suggest not vomiting, at least not on your first day.

On the other hand, since he's still working at the job he called in sick for to get this one it might solidify his alibi.
