Bully, I'm sorry. That has got to feel like a slap in the face. I don't blame you at all for looking at other jobs.
Update on the hr job: apparently it's all up to the vp of HR, who is out this week on PTO. So I should hear next week. I have a bad feeling and hope it's nothing.
Bully, I sympathize. This new place that I'm supposed to be getting a job offer from dragged their feet in getting an offer to me, and I found out this morning that in the meantime, the position has been regraded as a grade lower, so the salary they will be offering me will be 17% lower than the one I was originally told and 13% lower than what I currently make. So, I will be negotiating with all my might. I want to go work there, but this really pisses me off. Even if I do manage to get in at a salary that is on par with what I was originally offered (or at least what I currently make), it will mean that I'll get salary increases less frequently, so it still screws me over in the long run. Grrr.
I think we have enough overlap that I might be able to be helpful.
Also, I'm sorry about the carrot being snatched away and the fact that they want you to sign off on things you haven't helped create. To me that would feel like putting my license and professional integrity at risk. I'd definitely want to find a place that wouldn't ask that of me.
Thanks! Want to PM me your email address?
This is EXACTLY it. If I had gotten the promotion, I would have been supervising the people who created these plans. So, you don't want my clinical skills to run the department, but you think it's okay for me to blindly sign off on stuff written by people I don't know and for kids I don't know? Go fuck yourself. I pushed back and said that I wasn't comfortable from an ethical standpoint as I don't know the kids/staff and that I'm not willing to put my licensure in jeopordy. I'm willing to help out, but it needs to be thoughtful and well-planned.
