edited January 2008 in General Charlton
A company in New York has just offered to double money and I really want to go as I want to show that I can work at the highest level. This new company has even offered to pay my current company very good compensation.

Its a no brainer for me, I get to earn decent money in a great market even if it just for a few months. The problem is that the board here at my company don't really want to let me go but the money will help out their current financial situation. Heard through the grapevine that a lot of our customers are a bit annoyed and blaming the board. Ha, how deluded are they, it's my choice in the end and if they make it difficult for me to move and make me stay i'm going to kick up a right fuss.

What do you think i should do?

    Are you tied to a fixed-term contract? Did you shake hands with your boss to stay for a certain period of time?

    Do you have 20,000 customers who are so happy when they deal with you they sing your name?

    ;-)

    I love your analogy
  • WhenIwasLittleBoyWhenIwasLittleBoy
    Although money is a wonderful thing, its not the be all and end all. Double your money......but for what, the same job and same hours,

    Or does it come with longer hours, more travel, more preasure, if you are a family man this would not be such a goood thing. This would bring arguments at home, you wont see the kids as much and you wont be happy, not being negative just pointing out that its not all whats cracked up to be, i have had these offers before and once you have sat down and looked the whole picture spoke with the family its not really worth the punt, especially if u have job security and are financially secure is it worth it?????

    If the answer is yes then good luck mate and the beers are on you.

    How you can compare New York with Sunderland is completely beyond me

    What do your Harem have to say about this? Can they all get out there on a relocation package?

    New York is the Premiership, not Sunderland.

    He hasnt been offerd a job at all, he was refering to Andy Reid and how anyone would move in his situation as well.

    It is, the job is in the Premier League. The "company" is Sunderland who are based in New York (Premier League).

    Get it?

    Good lord, these rugby fans

    Yeah that's all great West side, but what if the job/company whatever was in Los Angeles? Surely that makes a difference?
  • Heath HeroHeath Hero
    Hang on, I'm confused. Have you got a new job offer or not? Why is Andy Reid going to New York?

    Right i don't mean to embarrass CharltonDan (he does that himself) but he just whispered me this:

    What's your contract status?

    I.e. are you on a fixed term contract or do you have notice to serve?

    If you have a notice period written into your contract, they cant do anything mate. You may have to work for a few weeks with your bosses being cunts to you, but just sit there doing as little as possible, take your full hours lunch everyday..... Basically do as little as you can without you flirting with disciplinary action... They'll soon get pissed off and will probably ask you to leave early as it'll be detrimental to their business, which sounds like its already on the slippery slope as it is.

    Dont be loyal to them mate. Think of yourself (sounds like a great chance).... They wouldnt be loyal to you if they needed to make redundacies / cut costs....

    If you want to chat about it just bell me or email me.....
