AIO To This Work Dilemma?
Got promoted a few months ago, I have about two weeks left to go back to my old position if I want to.
I made a mistake yesterday that resulted in my new boss telling me they would have to think about sending me back to my old position.
Decided I wanted to return to old position.
Now that my new boss has heard I’d like to go back to my old position, they are telling me my mistake wasn’t that big of a deal, etc etc and that I should stay.
If that was true, and they had said that at the time of the mistake and not “I’m thinking about sending you back to your old position” I would have just moved on. But that wasn’t what happened and I requested to return to my old position.
New boss is upset I chose to do this.
Thoughts? I just can’t afford to have my old position filled, have my boss think I’m not good enough for this new position and end up without a job.
Did I overreact?
