Situational Judgement: question 2 of 5

You've been working in the same place for the past three years and have managed to work your way up. Lately, you have been feeling that you have reached your potential in the company so you start pursuing options for advancing your career in other companies. You are now in the midst of negotiations for a new position.

Rumours that you are leaving have spread in your current work place.

What would you do and why? Choose ONE option.

#1: Since the rumour is already out, you update all your acquaintances in the organisation that you are in the midst of negotiations for a new position. This may even encourage your directors to promote you within the company.#2: Because the rumour is out you update your manager and only him about your intention of leaving. Since you are still an employee there, you keep working normally.#3: Since the rumour is already out and you will probably leave, you invest a little less in your work and a bit more in attaining the new position.#4: Since it is only a rumour, you don't update anyone until you actually hand in your notice. Nothing has been decided yet.

What would you do and why? Choose ONE option.

#1: You accept the idea of the senior marketing manager. Since she is more senior she has more influence on your status in the company and therefore it is politically wiser to support her.#2: You accept the idea of your supervisor. Since he is directly above you, he has more influence on your daily routine in the company and therefore it is politically wiser to support him.#3: You weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of each side and decide accordingly without getting involved in their personal conflict.#4: You believe that getting involved in this dispute would be detrimental to you as both sides are superior to you. Therefore, you refuse to pick a side saying that both strategies are equally successful.
