Is It Wrong to Take a Job You Know You’ll Leave Soon? 🤔
I’m in a real bind and could use some advice. I just applied for a great job here in Austin, and I’m almost certain they’ll offer it to me. The catch? The manager was crystal clear—they want someone who’ll stick around for the long haul. But here’s the thing: I might have to move early next year, and I desperately need the income after leaving my last job because of a safety issue.
My family keeps telling me, "It’s just business, don’t worry about their feelings." But I can’t shake the guilt. Would it be wrong to accept, knowing I’ll leave soon? Am I being too idealistic, or is there really a moral obligation to be upfront with employers? This dilemma is eating me up inside, and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Have you ever been in a similar spot? What did you do? 😓
Update: Turns out, they hired internally, but said I was their top pick if not. All that worry for nothing! Life’s funny, isn’t it? 😂
