Alright heres the deal. I work for a fair sized company (approx 160 employees currently) and am fairly high up on the food chain. Im the supervisor for about 150-155 of those people.
Well, I found out today that the company is being bought out on FRIDAY. The buyer wants to downsize the company and only keep the top 60 employees (obviously im included), and the rest are getting laid off. I have the choice of going with the new company or taking a lay off.
If I get laid off, I can work online full time. Currently I make enough online to pay all my bills, so my "real" job is just fun money. Its pretty nice. However I know that if I worked full time online I'd have alot more money to play with too, its just not guaranteed.
Would you guys go with the new company and risk not liking it? Or just say fuck it and start online fulltime?

Its going to suck either way. The company pays for half the lease on my 2002 Chev Sonoma aswell as insurance, fuel and any repairs.

Try not to give opinions that are TOO biased either. Going full-time online is a huge step for me if I decide to do it. Basically I have until the 31st to figure it out.
I'm in a simular situation with the difference that my employer is going belly up so I did not have the choice you have to make.

I have been doing this successfull for 2 years now and now went full time with it and I must say it's great.

Money's good I have more time to spend on my family and nobody tells me what to do but me.

I can't say you should do this or you shouldn't just wanted to share my experience it might help you reach a decision easier

Either way good luck to you!
