hey! I have a question I think I already know the answer to. do I tell my boss I'm going to New Zealand for a job interview next week?

the only reason I ask at all is because at the last interview they said at this one they'd want to talk to references. he'd be a good reference, but I honestly think has no idea I've even looked elsewhere, and it might make things awkward if I don't get the job. I suppose plan for the worst, right?

I guess it depends on the relationship with your boss. - spamlet Feb 20, 15:09 6
- I thought mafic would have ruled it out if that was the case; but, yah, don't do it if it's extra risky and there are possible consequences. - b. Feb 20, 15:11 3
  - he'll either think it's amazing, or flip the f*ck out, and it's difficult to say which. -- nm - mafic Feb 20, 15:14 2
    - I wouldn't say anything then. I had the same issue and chose to stay quiet. -- nm - spamlet Feb 20, 15:30 1
      - yah, unless you feel the risk is worth it, shh. -- nm - b. Feb 20, 15:32
- possibly. it's really hard to say. he's... unpredictable. -- nm - mafic Feb 20, 15:11 1
  - I thought wrong. (haha.) -- nm - b. Feb 20, 15:12
Last interview I went to, I gave my boss a heads up they might call her at some point. She said she appreciated it. - Dr.Vermin Feb 20, 15:01
sure. - b. Feb 20, 14:59
