I need some help from mah Saddo peoples!

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Ok so here's the deal...

I work for a global software company. I currently have one of the easiest jobs on earth but it looks like my department is being fazed out. My two income house has turned into a one income house due to my girlfriend and I deciding a split was in order.

So being I can not afford a layoff(as I have no one that monitarily would be able to help me out) I figured a lateral move into a very nessesary department would be a good idea. I also found that my pay could inrease upwayds of 4 dollars per hour.

Here is where the problem lies. Last year I made over $10,000 extra due to overtime. I get all the overtime I want. I also have a carefree boss who really just lets me come in when I want, leave when I want and as long as I get my work done doesn't care. But I am in danger of in the future being laid off and having no income for a while which is unacceptable...

The new jobs that I am throwing my hat in the ring for have tough managers that will expect me to be at my dest at X time and not leave until X time. The overtime is also maybe 2 to 5 hours per week unlike my unual 8-10. I would not be in immediate danger of being laid off as they are HIRING for the job right now in the nessesary departments. And of course the pay increase... Which really only looks good on paper cuz at the end of the year with the overtime cut it will probably be pretty comperable...

So do you take the tougher job for the security or wait it out and see what happens(keep in mind I can not afford a layoff)


Thanks guys and girls

Sorry to here that... I would call the misses back









































Seriously, I would get on Monster and CareerBuilder and have you resume on anonymous so your company cant find you and get the feelers out..

I dont know when the timer could go off for you but I would guage it on how much time you think you have left..

PS Have HitmanDonny look at you Resume, he is excellent as well as articulate, I saw a sample of his work with a coverletter he did for Von Milash

Thats some good advice too. Search for any other options if you couldn't stick it doing a tougher job where you are.

I'm in danger of being laid off too. But I think I've save enough money to start my own business.

I have enough money in my savings account to hit up Micky Ds and be a dollar menunair!

Have you talked to your current boss to get a read on your departments situation, and ask him for his advice?

If you take the job in the other dept, and your current dept doesn't get fazed out, couldn't you go back to it?

LOL, yeah... No, me and my girlfriend just both decided that 3 yrs of living together was enough... We're still cool, she actually works as a high paygrade recuiter for Aerotek so she'll be doing my resume but good call on Donny. I'd ask her to help but I'm not a candidate for Aerotek. She recruits for like 500k positions. As far as looking for another company... I like this one. I've been here for years an kinda like it.

Thanks JT

Your last sentance should answer your question. Why wait and risk things, you need to keep your job/income and if that means making sacrifices (in this case the sacrifice is not being able to have an easy time, actually doing the job under tough management) then you have to do that.

Sounds like a shit scenario, but if it is a must keep job then you need to do the best thing to keep it secure imo, despite the changes.

Good luck with it fella!

Yeah, thanks TB... I think I might have to pull the trigger on it and pray.

One thing is to ASK!!! Go to your manager and say something like "Hey boss, you don't think I'll be getting laid off in the near future do you?" Just casual conversation.

Sometimes lack of communication can cause a big problem. I would ask him, so I could stay with the easy job as long as I could.
