Sorry, long post coming... More of a "need to get something off my chest" post, but maybe you all can give me some advice..
As many here might recall I moved onto a new position in January with a new company.
Things were going very well, and I even managed to impress the CIO.. Then along came April and the announcement we were merging with another company.
Over the past 2 and half months I've gotten to know my Manager's boss and found he is a micro-manager, and that is putting it lightly.
It's to the point he wants to not only micro-manage my boss, but those of us that report to him.
He has admitted he knows very little, to nothing, about the Power Platform, for which I am "suppose" to be the manager of.
Yet questions every thing I propose like I'm out of my mind. It can take 2 or 3 meetings to layout the plans to get him onboard.
I've expressed my feelings to my Manager for the past month or so, and he thought we just needed to wait for the merger and things would change.. After 3 weeks of being one company, it has only gotten worse.
So I started listening to recruiters who came knocking.
Last week I had 2 separate interviews with a large (17,000+) company and by the end of the day of the 2nd interview, they let me know they were putting together an offer, and to expect it on Tuesday ( Today is a Holiday for them).
A lot of it is going to come down to what the offer is, but I am 90% sure that if I accept the offer, and word gets up to the CIO, the pressure to stay will come hard and fast.
The only way I could possibly see me staying is if they moved me out of reporting to the Micro-manager.. Which then you have to wonder what he would think/know about the why.. and of course if the money offer from the other company is substantial they'd need to come close to matching it.
To my main point of this long winded post...
I'm starting to feel a bit guilty about possibly moving on after only 6 months..
I know if I leave I am leaving them high and dry as the only other person here that knows anything about the Power Platform just started learning it in February.
At the same time, I haven't been happy during this transition over the past 2 months and am unsure if that would change even if they moved us to a different manager..
Any thoughts/advice??
