| Need Job Pixies Please - Updated 01/08 in first post
For those of you that knew about my job saga from last year, I thought I had found a job last April that was going to be the one for awhile. Well on Wednesday my manager told me that they were reducing my position from full time to a .7 which would only be 56 hours every two weeks. When I took this job from my previous job, I had already taken a substantial paycut. This now would reduce my income by almost another third. So my manager asks me if this would be workable for me, and I told her "No." I'm a single parent with a child in college; there's a limit to how low my income can drop. So she tells me I have until Monday to decide what I want to do. If I don't take the reduced position, then the company will give me a severance package and I will then be unemployed. I called human resources yesterday, and I'm thinking the severance package might not be that bad. However it is scary to think about leaving when I don't have any other job offers lined up. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] So if you could send some job pixies my way while I ponder this over this weekend, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
<font color="red">Thanks for all the pixies! After spending the weekend pondering carefully what to do, I decided to resign and take the severance package. I'm thinking of going back to school to get my master's degree, so the time off will afford me the chance to study for the GRE which I need to take to apply for grad school. Maybe with some time off, I can figure out exactly which direction I want my life to take. I'm trying to look at this as a new beginning even though it is a very scary step to take. Thanks again! </font>    |

Wow Vicky, that stinks! Would you be eligible for unemployment if you leave? Would that keep you going until you find another job?
Hope it all works out for you. Here's a few pixies to make some magic happen!
