Seriously I hate the industry. The main reason for keeping the job (other than the state of the job market) was it was under the umbrella of a well respected corporation and also because of that they paid better than the average company in the same industry. The new owner is small and can't pay anywhere near what I was making and that's not going to change and also the growth opportunity won't be there. Money isn't the only reason to work at a place but that's pretty much the only reason I stuck around. Take that out of the equation and there's nothing for me.shadx312 wrote:Ok then, thank you for drawing a picture!
Still, if you know you could improve the company if you were in a better position and they saw it (only because you took the initiative to show it to them) maybe it'd be better than that. It wouldn't hurt, would it? It doesn't mean you still can't turn them down:) I don't know the reality of it, but I get the impression that being passive about it is a good enough excuse for any employer to trip the fat.
Why are you one of the last to go?
Why did another co-worker ask for your help?
The ONLY reason the new owner was even considering hiring me back is because my boss was REALLY pushing them on it. I could already tell they are really laid back people who don't like conflict so the main reason they probably told him they would consider it is so he'd STFU about it. It will be a lot easier for me, my boss, and the new owners when they don't have to deal with my presence on a daily basis. Out of sight, out of mind.
)... both times jobs were moved or eliminated. i went to work, i got good quality scores, i trained people, i was friendly, on time, dedicated... it didn't matter... it doesn't matter when your boss gets laid off too... or... your boss is thanking his/her "lucky" stars that he/she isn't getting laid off too.
