I need one, I just took the last week off of work to install a new floor in my foyer, kitchen, hall and busted my ### all week.
you should be able to negotiate something similar if 5 weeks is standard for your position. you may have to go backwards a bit on that but different companies do it differently.hopefully you can pick something up a couple months in and get paid while your severence is active which would be huge.
Agreed. Though 25 years of service deserves that type of package. Start the job hunt now. You'll get the best of both worlds, - potentially a better paying job now while still getting paid from your old employer. That being said, I know it sucks. I've had it happen to me once, and I was numb in the airport. Sucks to tell the wife, etc. It took me a few days, but then I turned the numbness into determination about getting the best next gig. Good luck.
If I am reading this correctly you will be getting paid until the end of September next year? Jan 31 plus 34 weeks of paid leave?
Terrible situation to lose your job, but this is one helluva severance package. With your background, you'll surely find a fantastic situation soon. Best of luck and best wishes!
Not sure about your industry per se, but someone of your experience should probably start off with 4 weeks. It's not unheard of, so a bit of a haircut for you but not that bad.
Remember the moops's post about being paid until next September when you're feeling this way. YOU ARE PROVIDING FOR YOUR FAMILY. In a major way. Sucks to lose a job you like but you have a great opportunity here. You have put yourself in great position to keep succeeding. Congratulations and enjoy the break.
He's gonna ruin rick's vacation with this job-seeking help, but still a solid move.You're a good man.Baloney Sandwich said:
yeah, i would start being aggresive now. But with the understanding that few companies will likely be hiring before the end of the year....but your goal should be the first on their minds at the beginning of 2015
You still receive that whole severance package and now you have this job, I assume near similar pay, right? You won the lottery as long as this new one works out to half of what your last company was able to do. You didn't say, but I assume in the Rochester area as well... no moving or anything like that.
Yup, whole severance, new pay a little higher. Still in Rochester, this job is on the pther side of town, so 30-40 minute drive each way instead of 15-20, I can live with it.Mario Kart said:You still receive that whole severance package and now you have this job, I assume near similar pay, right?
