LYC: I've decided to stay at my current job. There were just too many financial risks going to the other job.

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Jun 2 '13, 19:21

The other job was contract, less money, no paid vacations, but was definitely less stress and a different opportunity.

My current job I have 3 pretty long vacations coming up (Bacon's cruise in Nov is 10 days, 7 days in July for a family reunion, and 3 in August for another family event) which will all be paid for, plus benefits, plus more money.

Hopefully, it all works out. And if it doesn't, I get paid almost 40% more for a few months.

(Thanks for letting me vent - I was *seriously* stressing on Friday. I also don't mean this to be a Capstern lookatme post. I certainly did not expect this outcome at all.)

Cool! So how'd the boss react to your decision and do other co-workers know? -- nm - JenBro Jun 2, 21:03 4

Money! -- nm - David Jun 2, 20:15
It sounds like a solid decision. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 20:12
You are never " look at me". We are to vent or bounce things off of. - Epiphany Jun 2, 20:11 2
- Wait, what if I flash the board? - JaxSean Jun 2, 20:36 1

Sounds like the right thing to do. Good luck -- nm - amoxy Jun 2, 19:54
As a reward you will get a very fun and relaxing cruise -- nm - Bacon on Google Nexus 10 Jun 2, 19:45 6
- That reward actually had quite a bit in the decision. :) - JaxSean Jun 2, 19:53 5
  - Well, now I feel a bit of pressure to make your vacation kickasstacular -- nm - Bacon on Google Nexus 10 Jun 2, 19:56 4
    - Any nudity? -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 20:15 1
      - Definitely. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 2, 20:32
    - Pfft. You'll have enough to worry about, mister. - JaxSean Jun 2, 20:01 1
      - No worries at all. We made this very casual and relaxing. At sunset on day two her Dad will marry us, and then we are hosting a dinner - Bacon Jun 2, 20:07
you did fine. - Mel Profit Jun 2, 19:41 1
- Yup. :) -- nm - JaxSean Jun 2, 19:50

I can certainly appreciate the less stress option, but if the numbers don't work out, you probably made the right call. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 19:31
Sounds like a reasonable decision. - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado Jun 2, 19:24
good call. -- nm - Tim Jun 2, 19:23
