My boss actually wasn't lying...

So I brought up some cheques this morning to my boss for him to sign and he asked me how the jobhunt was going. I said fine and that I had a trial for a Property Management company after I finished up here. He then started giving me all this advice and complimenting me and I was like WTF?! He said that I shouldn't rush into accepting any job, that he isn't kicking me out the door and that I should definatley ask for more money than what I'm currently earning here as according to him "I'm worth it". Talk about confusing someone! The he asked when I might be leaving and I said Monday week to which he responded with asking me to stay on another week after that because he will be interviewing people all next week. He also said that the job advert went in the newspaper today and he wasn't lying...it's not MY position he's interviewing people for! It's for a new management position. So now I sorta feel guilty for hating him given all the nice things he said and on an even more plus note I was talking to the engineers this morning who reckons he should fire his girlfriend instead and keep me on...awwww!!!

So overall, there's an upside and a downside to today's events; the upside being that I didn't do anything wrong but in fact am and have done a great job here and am very well liked by co-workers and the downside being that I'm incrediby confused! I even mentioned it to the guys aswell that I suspect old hag is behind scrapping my entire job and they agreed. She just wants to steal what's left of it. But now, I'm thinking I should be more careful about where I'm going to work next and up until now I would have taken anything just to get the hell out of here, but now there doesn't seem to be a rush. I just don't know what to do! :-(

"He then started giving me all this advice and complimenting me.."
Talk is fucking cheap. If he really wanted you to stay, he would have offered you a fatass raise for your fatass life.

"He said that I shouldn't rush into accepting any job"
Fuck him

"that I should definatley ask for more money than what I'm currently earning here as according to him "I'm worth it"."
Of course you're worth more. But if you're worth it to Bastard, then why isn't Bastard paying you more?

"asking me to stay on another week after that because he will be interviewing people all next week"
Drop the files on his desk with a note that says "Fuck You!"

"it's not MY position he's interviewing people for! It's for a new management position"
Tell him to put an ad in tomorrow's paper for your position and otherwise go fuck himself.

"She just wants to steal what's left of it."
Poison the water before you leave.
