> You only give a negative example for telling the boss. I gave the only relevant example I had, which happened to be negative [it actually worked out extremely well for me but that's another story] and cautioned the OP if they thought that was a possible reaction they're better off waiting and giving two weeks once they find something. If they know their boss better than I did (we had only worked together a few months) they may be able to gauge the response better than I was, which is why it depends on the relationship.
