She got angry because you want to improve your job?

Wait till she finds out all of her staff think like that lol

It does sound like a bit of an odd reaction to me

 

Take it with a grain of salt. Don't let her reaction bring you down. It's better you have someone who wants to progress rather then someone who is just happy to do the same thing day in and day out without ever think of what the next challenge can be.

 

2010 was a **** year for me I hope 2011 would be better. LOL 2010 could have being worest. Oh well life is unfair

 

I've had similar female managers in the past, basically you are creating work for her as she can no longer use you as a resource. Since its an internal position I think its a little unprofessional of her.

 

Don't worry about it JK, in my first IT job I got the same reaction (exact the same words as you got actually) - an absolute roasting because I had "applied" for another job. Safe to say, when my manager calmed down and asked what it would take for me to stay, the damage had already been done by the prior outburst and I just said "sorry but i'm sticking with my decision regardless of what money you offer me"

Here's to 2011 JK and Gents.

 

Bugger it JK, she's in the wrong for her reaction! If the position your in no longer satisfies you, then it's just tough luck for her! Best of luck with it, enjoy your Christmas!

 

Maybe she has PMT

I hope 2011 is better for me too.

 

Yeah that are great aren't they! If you haven't already, get yourself Calibre. It's great for converting eBooks from other formats to Kindle native. It's also brill for creating free newspapers and suchlike. It scans the web and turns new into an eBook which it can then send yo your Kindle.

 

Oh that sooo shows that you're excellent in what you do... and a great person too... also very ready / likely to get the role you are going for.

Good luck.

Don't worry about your TL's boss - unprofessional, but there might be a reason if you say it's out of character? (like you're a great team member and she'll be upset to see you go) Leave her to it, she'll most likely be full of well wishes when you move on. Take it as a bizarre compliment, and enjoy moving onwards and upwards!

Sometimes a boss may also become upset like this because they really like you/enjoy working with you.

My boss at a company I left in 2007 was really unhappy to see me leave. It was also a tough choice for me to make as he became a very good friend.

Well... He work for Microsoft as well now and we've remained excellent friends and colleagues. But sometimes the "reaction" is a sentimental one...

 

after one "adventure" with my ex boss (when I told this **** I am leaving) in the past I told myself: no sentiments, no friendships with boss, no matter how nice and politely boss will be for you will most of the time treat you like his/her bitch and will shag you up in the ass when the time comes
I have one life and I will do with it what I want
