I work for a company that does EPC work. I'm contracted out right now to a very large company. After about 9 months of busting my ass, the company who I am contracted to wants to hire me on full time in a supervisor position. Huge jump in pay and a great move for my career. I am still waiting to finalize some negotiations to notify my current employer.
This weekend I get a text from another contractor saying our supervisor caught wind that I am planning to jump ship. I am not sure how to approach the situation. The new company will set my start date so I can't exactly just step up and give my notice yet. The woman who will be my new boss and I have a great relationship. I have already emailed her to assist. It's not exactly a secret at the new company that I was selected. What say ye hive? |

Quoted:
If your approached be honest with both sides. You have the right to work for who you want to. This. You need to look out for yourself. You have a golden opportunity to advance. I would run with it. If you can grow in experience and pay, it is a win for you. |

Quoted:
Uhhhh, most contracting firms have a contractual right to get money if you get hired by the customer. Didn't you sign something? IANAL. I imagine it's in the agreement that we have with the new company. In the last month 3 others have made the move over. I am just used to these situations being more delicate. |

IMO, your new boss-to-be should be aware of this and know what they need to do - your current employer should have structured said deal so they're not unhappy if you move... I'm concerned because it sounds like this might not be the case - and you DON'T want to be "that guy" who looks like he tried to get around the system.... Just be careful. |
