I'm currently a manager for a USA startup that is owned by a UK company. Many parts of my job are done only by me, and the main office doesn't want given to other people. I decided in June that I needed to move from MA due to the cost of housing (plus liberal BS) and I was just bored with my job.
Since they couldn't just plug another person into my job, my boss asked me to stay until they hired a replacement and I had trained them. I gave Sept. 1 as my last day. Well, they were lax in advertising the job, doing interviews, etc. They kept asking if I could stay another week, then another, and so on. They just hired my replacement today. Since he has to give two weeks notice, I have now been asked to work until Oct. 15. ( I like this company, and I may end up working for it again, that's why I've tried to work with them).
So, I'll now have an apartment in NC that I won't be living in for a while, or I'll have to wait until Nov. 1 to move. I told my boss the company can either pay for my apartment for Oct., so I can move down right away, or they will have to pay my months salary for Oct. even if I work only two weeks. I have yet to receive an answer.
So how would you handle the situation??????
