In reply to What to do when T forgets you're terminating??!!?!, posted by gardenergirl on July 25, 2007, at 17:56:12
I haven't thought through your post yet - so bare with me.
My first reaction is "a golden opportunity". He clearly doesn't want you to leave just yet. And he is saying, "you can stay and continue to work with me if you would like." I hear you saying, "I'm not so sure. I have spent some time worrying about termination and have mentally planned for it so I don't know if I am ready to continue."
Maybe you can have your cake and eat it too. Maybe you can say, "Let's see how I feel at the end of August."
I also hear you shouting, "HELLO - HOW COULD YOU FORGET ABOUT OUR TERMINATION DATE?" I hear that most of all. That he forgot is hurtful. I understand that. I would be hurt too.
Sorry if I'm not making any sense. Maybe I'll think more on it and write later.
