I could be on the verge of making one of the bigger decisions in my life.
We had redundancies at work just before Christmas. We've all been expecting another round of them, today they were announced. And this time rather than telling us which departments we have to loose headcount from they are opening up to voluntary redundancies.
We have to lose about 10% of our UK headcount over the next 2 quarters. We all got an information pack this morning, and a link to a groovy spreadsheet that works out roughly what your redundancy package would be.
Hmmmm *looks thoughtful*
So now I am thinking, do I want to stay or do I want to bite the bullet and go. Is this my chance to make the career change that I've been thinking of? If I left I'd walk away with about �15k (redundancy/share schemes etc). I could pay off my loan which would use half of it, but then I have the other half there...for what??
I could use it to re-train, to become a primary teacher like I wanted to many years ago. But then I have the thoughts of, could I afford to carry on living at my flat, study and have a life. I wouldn't be able to live my life in the way that I do know, the shopping sprees and nights on the vofka would have to be curbed. Could I cope with study and working and living?
Aaarrrgh!
I have trouble deciding what to have for dinner most days? How am I meant to make a decision like this?!!!
