Simple. Alternatively, you could also inform the boss of your desire to advance your career, handle more responsibilities or receive better pay.
So YES. Inform your boss of your next move. Either way it's your decision.


I quite agree with you. It is always a person's decision to stay or advance... And sharing this with our bosses shouldn't cost us a thing. At the end we get to bear the consequences alone.

I think it also give us the opportunity to share our concerns and expectations with out boss...and if it is what they can compromise on, they offer us the option of staying or coming back if we decided we would rather come back

It depends on the kind of relationship you share with your boss, some will even tell you about available vacancies else where to improve your life

What if things later didn't fall out the way you wanted?

You'll wait till after you get the job before you notify him/her

That's how it should be

In Nigeria? Be ready to lose the current job before you get the job you're looking for.

On the other hand, how would you feel if your boss tells you that he/she is recruiting to fill your position just like that?

On a fair ground, If your boss tells you he is looking for another employee,how would your react to it?..

it's like you want your salary to be withheld.
Only tell him when it's time to leave,like a week or two weeks before leaving.

In a country like Nigeria you shouldn’t tell your boss, to avoid stories

This is true. Although it's not common.

@OP definitely no except in this scenario.
