Road Runner Posted October 11, 2017 Share #7 Posted October 11, 2017 The grass is always greener on the other side. Until you get there. Then you find out that the ground is infested with moles, the grass is almost dead and that someone has been spray painting it green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do something stupid to get yourself fired, already, and pull yourself out of this quagmire! It's not that hard, and if you can't come up with anything stupid enough we as your fellow Forumites can certainly help with that! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted October 12, 2017 Share #17 Posted October 12, 2017 It's hard because you're lucky enough to have good choices. If you had no job and were desperate for an income, it would be easy to choose. If you hated your current job and couldn't wait to leave, it would be easy to choose. But you have a job you generally like with people you mostly like as well. It has some drawbacks, including some coming changes that may be very negative, but it also has some very nice aspects. And the possible new job has lots of promising aspects, but it's always hard when you don't know exactly what you're getting into. But realistically, they're both good options and each is likely to have some nifty aspects and some drawbacks so there is no clear "right" option. On the plus side, there's also no clear "wrong" option either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted October 12, 2017 Share #18 Posted October 12, 2017 The airplane issue is big-- your life depends on that. Otherwise, it has always sounded like you have decent co-workers. Those are hard to leave. Have you met the people for the new job, @Wilbur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedalphile Posted October 12, 2017 Share #19 Posted October 12, 2017 I believe I've noted this before with you, you answer your own question here: commitment. You are likely over committed to this company, almost certainly more than it is to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airplane is a brand new Bombardier Challenger. Quite a bit smaller but still capable of non-stops to Europe. I understand most of the flying will be within North America with lots of NYC and Chicago. Winter destination is Grand Cayman and they are very heavily into sailing. Really, there is no reason not to go.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted October 12, 2017 Share #27 Posted October 12, 2017 Wilbur. I'm going to get serious just for a moment. It's been my experience that it's much more important and good for your health to be happy at work than rich. After you retire you'll probably kick yourself in the ass for that attitude but you will at least be healthy and happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted October 12, 2017 Share #28 Posted October 12, 2017 I think Wilbur should take a real good look at this picture: Notice that it shows the plane flying along way high up in the air, and there's nobody at the controls. Not even one of those inflatable Otto Pilots! So how hard can it be to 'pilot' a plane that flies itself? Talk about getting your money for nothin'! Looking at those seats, though, I think you will need one of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
