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.

If I had to choose. I would stay at the current job, not all webmasters have medical and or dental insurance, and it sounds like the company you work for give you that. After all you will never know when you do need that medical or dental.

What is wrong with working both jobs your main job and your online job?

Thats my Hope it helps you there StRoGE
