I was given a verbal offer on say the 3rd ... and the manager asked if I'd like to join on the 21st or the 28th. I said either would work and didn't give a definitive answer as I didn't even see the written offer ..
they told me they'll get it to me last week and still haven't
I emailed and manager said they are working on it and I can expect it today or tomorrow ...
but then said that in the worst case my joining date will be pushed back by a day or two meaning the 22nd ...
but since they didn't give me a written offer from 3rd till today ... I didn't hand a resignation at my current job ...
My current supervisor knows, and he is happy for me, but I didn't give him a definitive date
since I don't have a written offer
Should i tell the new job manager that need 1 more week because they still did not give me written offer or should I say I need 1 more week to finish my current job obligations
@AIQ Either reason would work, but give the hiring manager only 1 reason. The first reason is better since it's the primary reason you would like to delay the start date.
