I feel absolutely horrible right now. On July 4th, I faxed in my resume to an office. A few days later I had my interview. That same evening the hiring manager called me to offer me the job. I immediately accepted (which I now know was a mistake). The very next day, I put in my 2 week notice at my current employer.
My manager has been talking to me throughout the 2wks to reconsider staying. Of course, I thought about it... At the last minute (yesterday), the Dr. I work for and my manager pulled me aside, and basically gave me an offer I could not refuse (although I did NOT promise I was staying as I didn't want to get myself in another pickle). They were able to offer me the schedule that I want and more money than the new place is going to pay.
Long story short, I'm supposed to start at the new office TODAY! I've never in my life had to tell someone I won't be able to take the job on the day I am to start. I'm terrified and feel absolutely awful right now.
At this point, it would almost be easier on me to just start at the new office so I don't have to do this. I know that's silly to just avoid having to make a phone call.
My manager tried to assure me that the other office has to know that they would counteroffer. But I'm sure they are not expecting this AT THE LAST MINUTE!! I just feel like this wasn't fair to keep them waiting nor was it fair to the other applicants that she turned down to hire me.
I just feel completely awful.
