[quote=Anonymous]I recently had the misfortune of being placed under a toxic boss. I can genuinely say I have had great relationships with every single one of my bosses; stay in touch with many; and have been approached for jobs by prior bosses several times. I have never experienced anything like this before. The toxicity is causing me undue stress, not being able to sleep, eat, etc. I began aggressively applying for other jobs and am anticipating at least one offer shortly, I’m in a niche field and have had a lot of responses to my resume.

While this was taking place, another team within my company approached me about an internal transfer. Both my boss and my potential new boss okayed the transfer, but my current boss is dragging things out, saying he needs to find a replacement, that I need to finish XYZ project, etc. Given the time it took to hire the last person in my role; I’m anticipating being stuck under him for at least two more months which is not feasible for me. The new team wants me immediately.

I am debating going to the higher ups with an offer once received and saying the transfer needs to happen within a week or I will be leaving. I know this is not the best look but I am miserable and do not care.

Is this too aggressive / will leadership resent me for this? [/quote]
