my regular job is looking to be going out of buisness soon. we were even laid off this week. and rumours that had to be out of building in june so even though they have not said directly to us in general that we are closing it is pretty much obvious. so i went job looking and found a job like the one i have and am experienced in. it is told to be 30 to 40 hrs a week and insurance available if i work 30 hrs and they seem to think it will be full time. so i took the job. however i do not want to quit my other job yet cuz i have insurance there now. so i am going to work both for awhile til i find out about new one. do you think i amd oing the right thing. got any suggestions?

I have switched jobs a couple times, so I know what your going through.  Most every insurance company will cover you for an additional 90 days, after you leave a job.  I was unaware of this, when I broke my arm between jobs and thought I didn't have insurance.  I had not paid in 2 months, but my account was still active.  I had to catch up with the 2 months in payments and pay my deduct able, but it came out way better than I imagined.\n\nI know being in the mortgage business all the privacy laws, so my suggestion is, call your current insurance and run the scenario by them.  Call your knew Job 2ND, Tell them your situation and they may be able to work on getting yours when the other ends, that is if they need to.  \n\nI think this will work out better than you think.

I would stay with Job A. However, I would meet with your Boss. Possibly, take him/her out for lunch or coffee after work and tell your boss, that you love working in the company, and you have been there for six years, so you are a dedicated employee. However, you were offered another position and they include benefits, and raises, and a bonus. Don't tell the details of the latter two. Say that you would love to stay at the company, however, it is a very nice offer, and you thought you should discuss the future of wanting to stay where you are, as you have been commited to the company for 6 yrs already, however, it is hard to turn down another offer that is giving you benefits and more income. With the cost of living always increasing, it's an important decision that you wanted to discuss with with him/her, and see what they think and what the company could do...This approach may work well, as you are getting them to be part of the solution. You are giving them respect, but you are also letting them know that you are a good and dedicated employee (hard to find)... Also think about the time and the travel of these 2 jobs.. If you have to be at a job at 8 am and you have to travel 30-40 minutes (is that during rush hour ?) .. that's quite different than being at work at 10:30am (25 min and no traffic)..\n In addition, Pension plans are a (big) plus.. However, don't tell your boss that the other Co. isn't offering that.. \nTell the pluses, that the other Co. are offering you...and hopefully your Boss,  will value you as a reliable and dedicated person and try to work out something that you will be happy with.

As an employer you raise a red flag on your application with job hopping, but I wave that off if it is over hours. What I like to see on apps is a constant.If your young we understand some fast quitting but it doesn't make us feel confident about taking you on. What I was told and I tell anyone that comes to me with your question NEVER quit a job until you have another one. From your schedule it sounds as if you have the time to look for a job that can give you 40+hrs a week. But make sure that you you are applying at places that you want to work at. And give some thought to getting out of waiting as there are very few that can offer 40hrs much less make them a profitable 40hrs. Good Luck.

Somehow, people with a sense of loyalty have trouble changing jobs.  I am looking to quit a horrible job, but I am having pangs of guilt.  These people would fire me at the drop of a hat even though I have worked very hard for a few years,\n\nThink of what is best for you.  Nobody is irreplaceable and they will easily find someone else for your current position if you decide to move on.  You are not the first, nor will you be the last person to do what you are contemplating.  If it is better for you to make the move, don't lose the opportunity,  But be sure to secure the job before you let your current boss know what you are planning to do.

I don't know about taking on a second job when you are not supposed to. You need to ask yourself if the risk is worth taking.

Better be looking for another job when you take it off.\n\nCoach

It sounds like you want the money, insurance and flexible hours.  Yet, you do not like your job.\n\nTo keep the money and insurance, you would have to work for now.  But, if you really dislike your job, perhaps you should look for another job.\n\nAlso, 80% of people leave because they do not like their direct boss.  Is it the job itself, or the people that you do not like?  It might help to understand what about the job you do not like, other than being underpaid.\n\nHere's a quick summary:\n\n1. Understand what it is that you do not like about your current job\n2. Identify what kind of job you would like\n3. Master the skills, if necessary, to perform the job you like\n4. Search for another job

What you just said would be good enough reason. If there are unsafe work condition, then that gives the potential for people to get hurt. That is a lawsuit waiting to happen. How bad are the work conditions? If I were I would take it up with the Better Business Bureau if it is serious enough..but if you have already quit, I don't understand why you need another reason?

if you are doing a good job the company won't terminate you at anytime.  also, once you obtain seniority at a job or make it through their triaining or probationary period they have to have a reason to term you...which, unless you're being downsized, is a reason that YOU give them...like being late all the time or not following company policy.\n\nyou should always give your job a  2-week notice.  this is respectful because you quitting means they have to find someone to replace you, which takes time.  also, if you give them notice, then they may ask you why you are leaving and this gives you an opportunity to "fix" any issues you may be having at work and perhaps stay at your job.\n\nplus, 2-week notice allows you to make sure you are really making the right choice.  you may want to quit after a frustrating day, but who doesn't have those??  2-week notice gives you a chance to say.."hey, i'm sorry, but i changed my mind...can i keep my job.  i was just upset earlier".\n\ni hope everyone gives their employer 2-week notices, b/c i've been the employer many times and it really does put you in a bind...and i always asked that question at job interviews.  if someone told me they didn't give notice at their last job...i probably didn't hire them.  and i asked other questions, so i knew if they were lying about giving notice...i'm not dumb;)\n\ntake care.

We have the wisdom to choose our life. Anything or Anyone which abducts your freedom and dignity should be avoided at any cost. So dare to quit. Be open to your new employer....

Absolutely not.  It's sad, but you have to play hardball in the job market.  If they want gaurantees, they should offer you a contract.  Employers never ask for a contract with you because they want the option to dump you the second it's inconvenient to have you around. The flip side of this is that you are fully within your rights to leave whenever you want.  You don't have to give two weeks notice either. That's the way the job market works.

Absolutely! You should definitely go to the 2nd interview.  In today's market you should keep your options open.  As long as you haven't already signed any kind of employment contract, you should see what the other job offers.

I'd stick with your current job.\n\n(1) Permanent position really means you can be fired at any time for any reason or for no reason. Contract actually gives you (albeit not much) job security.\n(2) I really dont see any other positive with the second job.\n\nWhy are you limiting yourself to two companies? Expand!

Type up your two weeks notice. Remember to state how wonderful it was to work their and how much you enjoy being their. Tell them you would love to stay, but you have recieved a job offer you can just not refuse. They should be very understanding. Heck , if it is that bad, they may ask where you are going and if you would keep them in mind. I used a similar strategy when I left my last job. They asked me "What can we do to make you say? Would a $2/hr increase keep you here?" That is the response I got. I left that job just before it shut down with a few good references, both typed and in word. Good luck

Might be better off to look for a new job...... If you don't make much money at the job you got layed off from you won't make sqaut on unemployment.\n\nI almost think they pay that low just so you will go out and look for a job... I know it's hard to live on that much money... I have been down that road myself.

If you plan on getting unemployment benefits, you have to be fired.  IF you have a lot of money coming your way if you quit, then you have to weigh your options.  If they will be good references too, then I'd probably quit.\n\nWhy are you being forced to quit?

That depends on why you quit????  But they will call your x employer.  You will also have to apply to 3 company a week and take a job if you able
