Honest Boss: “I told my boss I’m looking for another job and now I’m spiralling. Help!”

When workplace grievances aren’t resolved, sometimes leaving a job is the only option that remains. But should you let your boss know you’re looking elsewhere? The Honest Boss dishes out her advice on the matter… 

“I have been unhappy at work for the past six months or so, and my boss, whom I’m close to, knows this and has tried to find solutions – but she’s frustrated with our workload and lack of support from higher-ups too. At our last one-to-one, I told her I’m done and have started looking for other jobs, but now I’m spiralling that I shouldn’t have said that. It could take me a while to get something else lined up, and what if this means I’m sidelined in the meantime? What should I do?”

Claire, 30
