I need help/opinions. Please respond to me privately, off list.
I've been working for this employer for just under two years, on a
long-term contract through a staffing company (they call it coemployment).
Last winter (December) I was told that I would become a full time employee
in April. I know for a fact that offer letters have gone out and I
haven't received one.
In the meantime, I have another company courting me. It's a good company
also, interesting position, a little higher salary.
I really enjoy my current position and company and don't really want to
leave. Do I just push the fact that I was told I would be getting an offer
to become an FTE in April, do I use the fact of the other company courting
me, or do I just leave well enough alone and let fate take care of it?
I would really appreciate any thoughts on this one.
