We all want to be recognized and appreciated for the work we do.

If you felt that your boss didn’t appreciate your work, would you look for another job or keep working for the same boss?

The woman in this story was insulted by her new boss, so she decided to look for a new job. But then the decision to leave became a bit more complicated.

AITAH: Leaving for new company when coworker receives diagnosis

My new boss berated me.

She told me I have a “lack of critical thinking skills” and that I “was promoted too early.”

She brought in someone from her former company for me to train as a replacement.

This woman started to look for other job opportunities.

As a result, I started looking for other positions.

During this time, two things happened.

A coworker on another team that I deeply respect was diagnosed with breast cancer and will be out.

There is only one other person on that team.

Now, she’s wondering if it’s okay to leave her company and work on a new job.

My new boss got to witness my strengths, and instead of laying me off as expected, she is now allowing me to work a dual role doing operational tasks on both teams once the coworker with cancer leaves.

But she still won’t let me be the face of the accounts anymore.

Would I be a jerk if I left for a new company at this stage? I almost have an offer in hand.

That’s a tough decision.
