Should I be mad?
Long story short, my boyfriend and I work for a major corporation. Same job, just different locations. He loves the job and has been doing it for years. I just started the job almost 6 months ago and like it but it’s not my dream job. Today, my boss’s boss was in for a visit and asked to go for a walk with me. He ended up asking me questions about my dream job and if I see myself growing in the company. I of course said yes and went on about my passion for cyber security and software development. He then asked if I was willing to move across the country into corporate for my dream job. Again I said of course. He left the conversation with “Well I think you would fit in quite nicely and think they would love you over there”. I was speechless. I went back to work and later asked my direct boss if he knew that his boss would ask me these questions and he said no but he’s not surprised. Later in the day he came to me and asked me to write up a synopsis of the possibly security vulnerabilities I found in a particular part of the company (nothing major just more ethics than anything). He said that his boss’s boss and a bunch of executives are interested in what I have to say and look forward to meeting me. Again a huge fucking surprise. My coworkers are shocked and happy for me. No one has ever gotten this much attention (we are listened to by smaller people in the company). So I tell my boyfriend this news, he’s thrilled to hear what is happening and couldn’t believe it. But when I told him about the conversation about possibly moving he got upset and said it was wrong for me to even say I was willing when I didn’t even talk to him about it. And that he was not willing to move across the country. I in return told him it was selfish of him to even say that when this could be the opportunity of a lifetime and that this was what I worked hard for. He then said I was being ridiculous and I don’t have a right to be mad at him. This dream job would definitely be well over 150k a year where our current jobs are around 80-90k. He thinks I’m just money hungry, but in reality it’s what I love doing. He also thinks I should just love my current job and be thankful and stop trying to find something else to do. Should I be mad at him? I told him I don’t even have a job offer and that he’s creating a huge mess for nothing.
