工作:偶然发现老板在招替代自己的人,我是否该立即辞职
from Quora Selected 附导读
Found out (by accident) that my boss is seeking to replace me. Am I doing the right thing by resigning asap?Neel Kumar, Have had many bosses, am one too.There is a great line someone told me years ago. I have begun to appreciate it only in the last few years:Communication is not what you say, it is what the others hear.There are many possibilities:The boss is NOT replacing you but getting an additional headcount. Not bad.The boss is replacing you because:The boss thinks you are a lousy employee. If the first indication of this impression is to replace you, the boss is pathetic. You would be better off with a smarter boss.The boss is afraid that you will replace her and hence wants to get rid of you. Not as uncommon as you think. If you are able to, reach out to your boss’ peers to see if you can switch groups.The boss is afraid you are going to leave him and is preparing for that contingency. This is sheer idiocy on part of your boss. There are far smarter ways of dealing with this situation.Your boss’ peer wants you and your boss wants to be a dick and is creating an environment where you will leave and your boss’ peer would not get you. Such people are toxic and you should stay away from such people.The person you heard the news from or someone upstream is spreading false information for their own personal benefit.Leaving gives the boss an easy out. And resigning without another job in hand makes your life difficult. Why do something that hurts you AND helps the person you don’t like?Continue working, put up a brave face and see what all is happening. Make connections. See if someone else also sees the situation the same way and warns you. In times of trouble, you really get to know who is looking out for you. :)Maybe you will discover that things are far more complicated. Maybe your boss is being railroaded into hiring your replacement. Who knows!To summarize, do NOT resign unless you have a better job offer in hand. See if you can get the boss to talk more about your performance. See who else is interested in working with you. Best of luck!
