Current job

-Work Mon-Thurs 7:30am-6:00pm
-Health Insurance, no dental though
-Enjoyable, easy work, lots of internet time
-Cool boss
-Good retirement
-2 weeks vacation per year

New job offer

-Work Mon-Fri 7:45am-4:45pm
-Goverment job, which means government healthcare & retirement
-At the moment unsure about the exact nature of my work
-Start out making about $10,000 per year more than current job
-Probably more vacation/more Holidays off
-10 minutes from house as opposed to 30 minutes of my current job

That's all I know about the new job at this point. Basically would you be willing to put up with lazy government coworkers, work an extra day, and deal with multiple bosses to make more money?
 
So far #2 is outweighing the first. Closer commute, more money, government benefits, get home earlier every day.

I say go for it and give me your karma when you leave.



Plus a phone number for when I need photoshop done.
 
Yeah, but i do agree that you will be working with some lazy ass muthers on that job. Seriously, the laziest people on earth work for the Govnant.

Look at Rnch. Look at him! damn...
 
lol, damn that rnch!

I absolutely love having my fridays off. That will be the decision maker right there. Hmmmm. I will find out more when I call this lady tommorrow.
 
Man, hours, vaca time, days off - these things are like #8 on my list when weighing job offers. I"m no help here

what is the title of the gov job? what exactly is it?

Engineer Technician is the official title I think

As far as I know I will be doing renovation & new construction both field and cadd work, working with architects and contractors for the local V.A.

Having a structural background, this job should be cake.
 
I should also add that I may not be able to be on Elite Fitness much at all.

I bet y'all will be against the new job now, huh?

Oh Dear God take that fucking job. We will all chip in and contribute karma to your 401k

That I don't know yet. Right now I'm deciding if I want to call for an interview.


I do hear my friend complain about having multiple bosses (some female) who constantly want different things and complain and sometimes fuss just to look like they are doing something.

My current job is stress free.

Anybody here have a govt. job? rnch ? Is it a pain-in-the-butt at times?
(lol rnch and pain-in-the-butt in the same sentence)

I worked a gov job once... I did not like it... but liking your job is so environmental - who you work for, the department, etc...

There were some great benefits, at the time - including some pension that is unheard of anywhere else. BUT - I saw these peeps there that were in there late 40's - early 60's and they were all just hanging on for retirement. It was sad because they really weren't making that much money - sure they'd be comfortable - more some that some peeps.

But it just seemed sad... kinda pathetic. I want more for myself.


That's why I hang out @ EF.
 
I would take #2...but im the type who will never enjoy working and views an occupation as nothing more than a paycheck.....I work for the State (local govt) and I get paid great, have 4 weeks of vacation a year(started off at 2 ) and great medical/dental/ prescription insurance.

This is true. The people I know don't like their job much. They're always complaining about the lazy coworkers and bosses.

But you should think of where you will be in 5 years or so with the current job. You have a "cool boss" now, but will that change? Where will you be in 5 years? Same position or posssibly higher with more pay/responsiblility? Same with the new job...

You don't seem like you "need" the money, maybe it isn't as easy as we think.

5 years... Answer!


Also, you said you have a retirement plan at the current job too? If so, that's hard to give up, even if you'll get one moving to the govt. job.

Good luck ass.

I have been at my current job for 10 years and although I do not currently make as much as I could starting out at the other job, I gradually get raises & bonuses and will continue to do so.....with the government job I will eventually "top out" paywise.

Money really isn't a big deal, more of a plus than neccessity. Although who doesn't want more money?

My current boss is President & Founder of the company, so I doubt he is going anywhere.

I'm not a people person so one of my worries is dealing with coworkers and multiple bosses.

They both have pros and cons, I just do not know what to do.

I'll probably end up sticking around here so I can entertain beastboy on EF

Does the gov. job involve a probationary period? Gov. jobs are the "move in and never leave until you retire" sort, generally, but most of them you have to get through a probationary period of like six months, and that isn't a guarantee if your supervisor isn't the person who hires you.

Now if the person who interviews you is going to be your supervisor, I'd say go for the govt. job, move in, you're set for life.

Darling,

For 10,000 more a year I would stay where you are, providing that things are going OK. It seems like you have a very good job that you like. Is there any opportunities for advancement in your company? Can they give you a raise? What is it that you do - that job sounds too good to be true?

The company is small and laid back which I love. I only have one boss and he is the owner of the company and he's basically like an older friend, not a boss.

I do get an annual raise and bonuses ever-so-often and get any day I request off even without notice.

We do structural engineering with a little civil & architecture mixed in.

It's a tough decision but like you said I do seem happy here and would kick myself in the butt if I ended up hating the other job.
 
workin for the government sux donkey dick.

if you are happy , i dunno that i would switch jobs. ive worked with alot of gov employees over the past 4 years and most of them hate their jobs .

wow... not sure on this one hard to say, i hate all people that are in the system, with that said i have 14 yrs i could transfer into it towards retirement, but i won't do it..

over the next 12 yrs it should be good to be a gov employee..

good luck..
 
aap, take the second one.

would you still be able to be a male dancer on the weekends?
 
its nice working in government, but at the same time, there are some serious arseholes in there that are semi institutionalised and you will want to kill with a broken coffee mug.

the other thing about government is that it doesnt matter how good you are at your job - it comes down to internal politics a lot more, which is something that drives me mad - i like to work hard, and by paid harder, NOT just sit there and not rock the boat while i suck at a teat

if there is the possibility of advancement within your current company, or the chance of you going out on your own and working for yourself (which is where youll make that extra 10k in a month) then id stay where you are and start repositioning yourself to facilitate that happening.

also, 3 day weekends every weekend are excellent for your social life and general wellbeing. i think that 5 and 6 day working weeks are shit, and turn you into a soulless wraith of a human being unless youre working for yourself. money sometimes just isnt worth that much.

a half hour commute to work sucks a bit though. sell your house and buy another one, youve been there for a decade aap, wtf are you thinking lol - if i knew id be at one job for ages id move into the same street, and use the extra time/fuel saving to buy another house, yeesh
 
what the fuck bro, 10k / yr is not worth switching jobs. If it was 10k/mo then fine.
bro you can make 10k in a week if you put your mind to it. Don't go for money. Go for what makes you happy
