Why won't my boss make a freaking decision already?

Question

He said he was trying to get me on this creative team before the end of the year. Well it's Dec 29th today and I've heard nothing. WTF?

Should I ask him WTF? or would that look too desperate?

I'm a temp and they are basically supposed to be hiring me temp to perm and I've already been interviewed and filled out a bunch of paperwork and it seems likely I will get the position but it's making me crazy that my boss said more than 2 weeks ago that he was trying to get the position filled before new year. I am one of TWO people interviewed for the job and that was 2 weeks ago.

How f*cking long does it take to make a decision like this? What should I do?

Answer 1

Well, since it is the end of the year, he may have been told not to hire anyone on until after the first of the year, and most companies do not wish to hire during the holiday time, because that way they don't have to pay you for the holidays. Politely ask him when you will hear anything about your permanency.

Answer 2

I say, you have nothing to lose. Tell him that you would appreciate an answer regarding the perm position, otherwise you will have to move on. Bosses/managers are funny this way. They wanna have all their bases covered before they make any decisions and the person whos life is being affected by their decision is always the last to know.

Answer 3

I think that you should inquire within 2 weeks of the completion of your temp assignment. It is possible that the boss can not obtain approval for your employment. Either way, you need to know.

Answer 4

Ask brother. He should have already told you. But don't use the above language. Be very polite. I think you will get it.

Answer 5

Ask your Boss.
