RDJ had a good one as well.
I have a moral dilemma with leaving my job..
- Thread starter Mpoitrast87
- Start date
@Mpoitrast87 hoky shit i thought this was a tech position. By all means switch dealerships for service if you’re being underpaid competitively. As long Can do the job well. Good service is a dying art these days.
4 years is a long time with no pay increase. That being said, it's never a good thing to burn bridges. If you are in the middle of a project leaving people high and dry money shouldn't be the only consideration. That doesn't seem to be the case though...
That’s why I never take days off.. I hate leaving people to finish my work if I’m not there. I’m going to make sure my customers are all set before I depart.
Sounds like you've made up your mind. lol
Take the job. Plenty of workers have shown up Monday morning for work and seen a pink slip on their desk which states you need to be gone in 15 minutes.
You caught that, too. Lol
So, I take it you don't have a family.
I mean, who the hell puts the people they work with above their family, all other things being equal?
Correct, I'm single.
You know I meant that if he gets the raise at his current job equal to Honda's pay to stay put, right? (Probably won't happen, but you never know.)
I guess I don't like to burn bridges as far as work goes. What happens if the Honda place isn't working out or if he is let go after 3 months? Collect unemployment? That's not a very good check. Go back to Nissan? What if they tell him to pound sand or the position is filled? Back to square one with an unemployment check to pay all the bills?
I like security, I guess. Not really a gambler.
actually no it doesn't or maybe your definition of job security and mine are different. yeah he's been there 4 years with no raise at all. His company and yours both would drop you like a hot potato if they thought it was in THEIR best interest. your interests be damned. companies don't give two shits about their employees anymore since they are expendable. even government workers no longer enjoy the job security they once had
I took the job. So it’s definitely happening. Just looking for input on whether it’s the right move given the short window to leave my current job
I will agree with you 100% on that.
So, if the other job is 100% guaranteed without layoff in 3 months or 4 months or long term,......then go for it without asking current employer for the same amount! It's a no-brainer.
I've seen and heard of people switching jobs and in 3 months, they're out of work. Back to square one and collecting a smaller amount unemployment check.
Congrats bro! Best of luck.
Didn't read all the responses but nobody cares about you but you. If they canned your ass, they'd just say it's "business". Same for you.
It's better for you, your family, etc. Screw em.
It's better for you, your family, etc. Screw em.
Thanks for the input guys. I’ll update tomorrow to let you guys know how they handled it.
