Still in a holding pattern with my job; Beginning to lose patience..huge vent

Won for Me
Is the meadow on fire?

I know things move slow. I am so tired of the back and forth. I have heard so many stories from so many people...it is approved, it isn't approved, the offer is coming, all hiring is frozen. I had two people IMing me today telling me the exact opposite things about the new job.

My immediate new boss (dotted line only) starts asking me to do things today that would be part of a 60 day plan and 90 day plan. Really? He also told me that a specific form for me to move on wasn't signed last Friday like everyone told me it was...He should not have been the one to tell me that news as well.

I don't want to cause waves and possibly get "labelled" before moving on. It is a horrible place to be in. I can't plan. I can't get too involved with the new job although the company sent me to a meeting in Disney World last week for the new position. It was great...NOW JUST LET ME MOVE ON! But I have been told not to take on new responsibility for the new job! Even if a VP asks.

I am just venting. The heat is going to my head.

I am so sorry. I am in a semi-similar situation, mainly I am in a miserable situation and the boss's boss keeps saying "changes are coming". What does that even mean?? I also have a semi-supervisory/lead title but am micro-managed to the point that it is impossible.

I think things are weird and stressful all over right now :(

Thanks, Kassandra. It sounds like you are in a worse place than I am. I don't care for my new boss, but I don't hear from him often.

I agree with you about things being weird all over. It hasn't been a good carefree summer. That is for sure.
