Yesterday, my boss saw an open tab on my computer that said "Careerbuilder." Had he asked me about it at the time, I would have shown him that I was reading an article about the professional fields that are showing growth for 2011 (IT or engineering, anyone?).
However, he didn't ask me.
Instead, he sent me a message about 3 hours later stating that he was upset that I was seeking a new job and that I should be discussing such things with him. He also insisted that he is making personal sacrifices to ensure that everyone in this company is happy and had a job in such difficult economic times. By sacrifice, he means (and he has told me this on more than one occassion) that his take-home pay is less this year than it was last year.
Then, today, I found out that he hired a new copywriter without letting anyone know that he had started the interview process. This is particularly disturbing as I had given him the resume of someone I thought would be a great fit for the job. At that time, he said that he would not be contacting people for interviews until he had publicly posted the position and had solicited a few more resumes. Well, the job was never posted and the ONLY time that I saw anyone in the office was yesterday when he met with some guy, who he then took out to lunch. Today, I found out that this guy has been offered the open position and will be starting tomorrow.
To call someone a two-faced liar is bold, but perfectly applicable to this situation.
