Maybe an odd or misleading title, but quite simple, would you give up a job for much less pay (say around half) if the job you were doing had no work? Consider also pension and possibly a redundancy package.
I’ve been in a job now where we’ve not had any project work for years and the only ones we have had is to centralise software back to head office in Germany. So the work gets less and less. Basically, it sounds like an ideal job, getting paid for just sitting around but it gets to you eventually. It’s quite soul destroying.
On the other side, given the job market and my age, I think I could be a lot worse off. I watched a program last week where this chap, who was once management, found himself supporting his family using the food bank because the benefit system failed him. I’m not sure I’d let that happen to be honest. I’d find something to do self employed from the offset.
Is the grass always greener and is money really worth more than your sanity?
