I'd say 6 months.

The last company I worked for was just horrendously terrible. There was so many days where I just wanted to say "fuck it" and walk out the door. I stayed 6 months and got the fuck out of there.

I actually created a thread asking the same question, and bigfan went full on retard toward me about it.

for me, the answer is forever. Or at least till daddy retires and I officially run this place into the ground. That will be a scary day because I'm almost 47 years old and I've never had a resume.

I was offered a fairly lucrative position with my old company yesterday. Its a LOT more hours, a LOT more stress, but a lot more money and they are willing to match the 3 weeks PTO I have currently. My job now is barely 40 hours a week, which includes drive time and some work from home. I have a company car & laptop that I can use 24/7, and virtually no stress after work.

I am completely on the fence and don't know what I will do.

3 weeks PTO is not a lot. Our base for new employees is 17 days vacation, 8 holidays, 10 sick days, all of which can be used in partial-day increments as needed. So if you have to leave at 3 because you are going to Vegas for the weekend and your flight is at 6, you just take 2.5 hours of vacation.

If you really want to go back, see if they'll go to 4 weeks PTO plus holidays.

I'm really hoping I can make it another ten years right where I am. That would give me the magic number, and about eight years post kids' college tuition to pound enough into the retirement fund to make life comfortable without a job. Wife is hoping for a grisly industrial accident soon, to ride the insurance wave to equatorial Costa Rica...

Take the new old job Frank.

Will you be reporting to the guy that fired you?

How many more hours?

How much more money percentage wise?

Can I ask this odd question about getting a new job, I have thought about leaving mine, but if you want to get a loan for anything, don't they want you at a job for awhile and what do you do about insurance, don't you have to have something until you can get on the new jobs insurance plan.

if you have insurance through work you can continue it via COBRA for a year (or more?) but it costs and arm and a leg..you pay the full amount meaning your employer no longer subsidizes it. not sure developments since Obamacare...can sign up for that mid year if you have a "life event?"

And about loans usually at least a year on the job or the equivilent show of steady employment.

Fart in your current bosses pillow. If he gets pink eye, take the old job back.


Thats the best advice i can come up with.


However. It has helped me make important decisions in the past.

Im at my current job for 12 years now. I switched to being just a driver about 3 years ago or so from sales and it was the best move I've ever made in jobs. We get yearly raises and I work a ton of OT at time and a half. The hours suck (early mornings) but it works with the kids so it's even better for me.

I flirted with going elsewhere but I make really good money and my schedule is ideal for my needs right now.

You will get the cobra paperwork after you leave. You get 90 days (I think) to sign up and if you sign up, it is retroactive to the date you left the other job. So basically you roll the dice for a month or so and hope that no one needs insurance during that time. COBRA is expensive as fuck.

After much thought and discussion, I have decided to return to my old gig. They have given me a raise and will give me the few things that I asked for. To their credit, my current company offered an 11.5% raise and 3 more PTO days this year but given the situation my wife are in right now, along with trying to start a family, the bigger paycheck just made more sense. I am leaving my current job on good terms and they said they would absolutely take me back down the road if that situation arose.

Its a good feeling to have to be wanted, I must say that.

Smart move Frank. That's exactly the terms on which you should leave any job. Always good to have something to fall back on, just in case.

Frank is the big FA signing this summer.
