Work continuity or Money

I think it depends on the value of the seperation package. If it is a substantial amount of money, at least 4 months salary - then I would stay at the current company and take the sum of money, and then try finding a job afterwrds.

If the new company will offer a better pay, why not go for it. However, you should also consider like how many years have you been working in the company. If the amount you can get from separation benefit is enough for you to start a good business, then you can wait a little longer. Anyway you will still be paid during your stay with that company. Another thing is your age, if you are still young, you can look for other jobs after you have been separated from your present employment. Try to weigh the pros and cons and decide after. Hope this helps. Have a nice day!

I would continue working until receiving the seperation package. It seems to be a sure thing while your next job is not. I am sorry to hear about your needing to seperate from your job. As soon as you receive the package, you can go on your job hunt and have a financial security blanket. Hopefully, you will find a job before the benefits of your package run out.

Of course, whether I stayed or went would depend on a few variables. One variable that I would really consider is whether or not I feel like I would like the other job better than the job that I have now. If they are the same type of job with the same pay, I would probably stay with the current company and just wait things out. On the other hand, if I felt like I would like the new job better, like if it was my dream job, then I would just cut my losses and start on my new dream job...especially if I felt like it was somewhere that I could stay long term and not have to worry about that particular company closing down soon.

I would continue working until it closes down and receive the separation package. I can relate here, my account pulled out its operation here in my place but my company is willing to transfer us in anothe account. Kind of similar. But in your case, you need to check on new job offerings, go on job hunting as early as now, maybe it's just timely to look for a new one. We really need jobs to help us go through this life. Good luck to all of us and thank you.

i think it would be better if you go get the new job. you know its kinda hard getting a job these days but you are quite lucky to possibly get a new one even though you still have your old job. you know yourself that your current job will close soon, so just anticipate the things that might happen if you will just wait for the separation package. compare your separation package (that might last only for like 4 months) to the income that you possibly can get from the new job (without having the worries about the company's status).

I think it would depend on how much the separation package was and how much I wanted the new job. If the new job was perfect then I would just go to it. But if it wasn't perfect and the separation package was substantial, I'd stay. If the separation package would really only cover my expenses while i job hunted, I think I would just take the new job because that way I wouldn't have to worry.

a pleasant day to you, it looks like you are somehow trapped in a situation which you both want to have. thus, to have that separation package and at the same time to have the new job offer but the thing is, time pushes you to choose. well, for me, if you can talk to your boss if you will going to avail an early separation pay, how much will be the approximate amount, then, from there, you can make an initial decision. life is sometimes playful, that we are being put into a situation that we cannot choose abruptly. that we tend to say this at the end, "what if". thus, whatever your final decision, you must be ready and knows how to handle it. goodluck.

hi, if that will happen to me in my career i will choose to stay working in the company until it closes down and receive the separation package before i will work to other company,i will be maybe a practical one to stay on the company,because i know and i feel that there are still company that will hire me.

Once I stayed till the end to get the separation package but this was at the time I did not really need the income. I also once left and took an other job (needed an income for my kids mostly) and once I stayed (it was not a full time job) and started with the new job next to it to find out if I really liked it. If you think you will easily find an other job, or you can ask them to wait for you till.. I would stay, otherwise I would take te new job.

It just happened with me. But it was not a year, but it was a month earlier notification. All I got was a month's salary. Now I am trying hard to earn. Hard luck, at present I am working for a company on work from home basis, but I really don't know how long would I survive there.
