How to let my boss know I will not accept a new position?
My contract is ending at the end of January (covering maternity leave). My boss and I agreed that they would create a new position in the office for me so that I can stay and continue working there. This new position created is the only reason why I would stay with the company longer. However, last week one of my colleague gave his notice so now the company is having me train with him to cover for him when he is gone. I'm sensing the company will just move me to his position instead of creating a new position for me like discussed. I do not want to take my colleagues position at all. How do I let my boss know when they bring that up to me? I'm willing to cover until they find someone but I am not interested in staying for that position.
