**TheSenator** · 07-01-2004, 07:43 AM

55,000 sucks

**Slinx** · 07-01-2004, 07:43 AM

Do it! It's a lot of money and you will find another job.

**wvuatl** · 07-01-2004, 07:44 AM

is that about $55,000 USD ?

if they don't want you then say "see ya" and take the money and invest in your business...

**HarlotCash Dyker** · 07-01-2004, 07:45 AM

what would you do

I duno where you work, but all in all if they are offering you money to leave, I can't imagine you having a long future there. Or is it a retirement thing?

Heh. I'm a sucker for up front money. 100k and I can work from home. Ok.

**Frank The Tank** · 07-01-2004, 08:11 AM

**brand0n** · 07-01-2004, 08:16 AM

lose your partner.

**scamdotcom** · 07-01-2004, 08:16 AM

55 a month isn't bad

**The Bootyologist** · 07-01-2004, 08:17 AM

take it

**Anna_O** · 07-01-2004, 08:18 AM

TAKE THE MONEY! Invest it in your sites. Double or tripple your income. And if everything fails, you still got your full pension when you're 60

WTF...what does your partner do to bring in some money? ...And maybe she wouldn't be so skeptical if you made some money on the internet...then she'd shut the fuck up like my now ex-wife had to do.

55k IS SUCKS???

**Nacho** · 07-01-2004, 08:19 AM

ACCEPT!

**EviLGuY** · 07-01-2004, 08:20 AM

I'd be gone in a heartbeat with an offer like that.

Seriously.. if they want to get rid of people.. they will.. one way or the other.

With 50k to invest in this business and some good know how you could easily be making more then you are at that place in no time.

Some people can't handle not having that safety net of working for someone though.

maybe because the net is insecure? Women hate insecurities.

**karlm** · 07-01-2004, 08:22 AM

Dosent redundency mean u dont get a choice?

**TheWildcard** · 07-01-2004, 08:22 AM

Take the money and invest it.

**Anna_O** · 07-01-2004, 08:23 AM

It's your job and your life, don't let your partner decide what you shall do.

**strobi** · 07-01-2004, 08:23 AM

Well I guess it all comes down to the "do I like my job?" question. Remember money isn't everything. You could quit your job and work fulltime in adult. But sometimes a corporate job can be mutch more rewarding.

**ldinternet** · 07-01-2004, 08:24 AM

**kmanrox** · 07-01-2004, 08:30 AM

Hahhaha .. that sounds like pure genius

**Hank_Heartland** · 07-01-2004, 08:31 AM

Dude, if you have any balls you will take the deal, set up some good pay sites and make 7 times that in the 6 - 8 months being on your own

**woj** · 07-01-2004, 08:47 AM

It depends on how much you are making there... if you are making 500k/year than 50k "get lost" bonus doesn't sound apealing anymore...

if you are making anything under 100k/year I would take it without thinking twice...

**pussyluver** · 07-01-2004, 08:58 AM

Stupid Question - Take it and run. Next year they'll be out of money and offer no money as they lock the doors.

**sexsup** · 07-01-2004, 09:49 AM

It depends, it sounds like an interesting offer, overall if you have other biz to run

**mrthumbs** · 07-01-2004, 09:51 AM

Im offering you $55.00 to leave this board!

**Pornopat** · 07-01-2004, 10:11 AM

It totally depends on what you make a year.
If it is more then 36 times your monthly income then take it.
24-36 consider.
Less then 24 refuse.

**beemk** · 07-01-2004, 10:13 AM

take the $ and invest it and work porn full time

**wvuatl** · 07-01-2004, 10:14 AM

I'd take the cash... don't think "I can't get another job"

You can get another job... it's just 10 years since you last tried... but people do it every day

**Paul** · 07-01-2004, 10:19 AM

Goodluck

**Lucy** · 07-01-2004, 10:32 AM

I think you should take that

**Frank The Tank** · 07-01-2004, 10:34 AM
