ACK... hate decisions and feeling like I let people down...

So, I was offered a new position at work, but it waws just not the right position for me at this time. Three years from now perhaps, but right now I feel like this position would have thrown my work-life balance all out of whack. So, I had to turn it down... which was fine, and I am ok with that. But, I hate feeling like people are thinking that I SHOULD have taken it because it was a great opportunity. But, an opportunity is not always a good thing if it's not coming at the right time.I was also offered a different position, which is far more in line with what I want to do. But, I had to tell my project manager that I didn't want to continue to work on his project. This is where I feel like I have let people down. They gave me a great opportunity when they promoted me last year and gave me leadership responsibilities... but it's not the right place for me. Besides I am not sure where that contract is going to go at the end of September... But I feel
and
over leaving them hanging like that. Oh well... guess I just have to get over my own fears...

Oh Honey, you do what you need to do!
It's great that you realize that that position wasn't for you now and not like a month into it. And it's great that you told them that. Just imagine, if you had taken it (and not whole heartedly) you wouldn't give 100 % and you might've been very unhappy and "stuck"
It'll be okay, in time they'll understand and support you. =)Posted 01-24-2009 at 06:39:40 PM by love_virus
