I had my meeting this morning and the conclusion is that my old manager and HR screwed up and my March 2005 promotion was never entered into the HR system. So I was given the option to keep my current position or take the severance that was originally offered. And they were really nice and gave me a WHOLE TWO DAYS to decide. I'm leaning toward taking severance and leaving. I had accepted that I was going to need to look for a new job. I know that I don't want to stay where I am, but I think if I decide to keep my job with the intention of finding a new one, I won't do it. If I take severance, I won't have a choice except to look for new job. So, what do I do? Be brave and take a chance and find a new job or play it safe and stay in a job I know longer enjoy going to?
I wish I had a couple weeks to decide. I would like to get a few resumes out and see if I get any interest before deciding. I'm going to ask for at least the rest of the week to decide and hopefully get the weekend as well.
I have a resume basics class on Wednesday and a career assessment on Wednesday as well. I'm not about going to the assessment class.
