I was offered 55,000 today to leave my job
 

ive over ten years service , they want to get redundancies , they offered me 55,000 plus ... 4 weeks pay per year ive worked there , plus a tax free pension payment and a full pension when i reach 60 .........

what would you do :)

55,000 sucks

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

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...

im thinking in total it would work out at about 100g .. im still not sure though as our work market is a bit dried up for decent jobs at the moment and i got to look after the missus and the mortgage lol

Run all the way to the bank:thumbsup

at the moment 1 euro = 1.21 dollars .. so probably a little over 70,000 us

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?

sold!
take the fucking $ and run.
there are plenty of fuckin jobs man, hell even i got 1

Mortgage over 100k?

its a semi state company with full service ... basically i would have to kill someone to get kicked out legally ..

guess ill have to go have some beers and think it over

yeah add about 25% and its basically it

Cha ching. Take it to the bank :thumbsup

take the 55k and run :glugglug

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

yeah i would love to do that and work from home however my partner is very very sceptical about all things internet

lose your partner.

55 a month isn't bad

take it

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 :glugglug

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.

read again...

55k IS SUCKS???

ACCEPT!

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.

Dosent redundency mean u dont get a choice?

Take the money and invest it.

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

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.

There are voluntary redundancies...

Heh. There's a secure plan. :)

Cheers,
Matt

do u know how often ive tried that lol

she works also and pays half everything .. i dont think shed be happy if i said im stayin home bitch to work on porn .. lol

take the money, buy a ton of crack, and a bunch of street-hookers :2 cents:

that's the smart thing to do =)

i do actually like my job .. but i also like working at home online ... not necc in adult only

Hahhaha .. that sounds like pure genius :thumbsup

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:thumbsup

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...

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

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

Im offering you $55.00 to leave this board!

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.

take the $ and invest it and work porn full time

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

Goodluck :glugglug

I think you should take that:thumbsup

it would take a lot more for me to leave punk :)

where do these figures come from ?
