DH got a job offer

[themysteriouswife]

I am on pins and needles. His current job, isn't what he thought it would be. He is very unhappy at work. He had a job fall into his lap. More pay, less work, and for a great company. He losses tenure, though. I just wish he would make up his mind!

Edit: spelling

I hope he makes up his mind soon for your peace of mind! I whole heartedly believe happiness, especially with more pay, trumps seniority. It'll be worth it in the long run!

[bugandbibs]

Exciting! YH is still young enough that I don't think seniority is as big of a deal. Especially since he is so unhappy at his current job. I hope you guys make a decision soon.

[themysteriouswife]

His main concern are the perks that come with seniority. He is losing PTO. About 9 days to be exact.

[gogadgetgo]

How long does he need to be at this new job before the pto days equal back to what he had?

Never having had a job with paid vacation/personal days it doesn't seem as big of a deal to me as it would to most.

[themysteriouswife]

10 years. He had 4 extra sick days and one week vacation. He got other perks, but if I tell you what they are you would know where he works. he also gets 401k matching at the grandfathered rate of 6%.

I think less stress would be worth it, IMO.

Me too. He countered with the company. They accepted he is putting in his notice next week

[themysteriouswife]

Haha. Two people put in their notice today. One person is on FMLA. One person goes on mat. leave Dec. 1. One person quit three weeks ago. That is going to leave one person and the asshole manager. DH is laughing on the inside.

Glad he took the job! And glad he can say screw you to the old company

[bugandbibs]

Awesome! It sounds like this will be a good thing for your family.
