[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 354222"] I believe I have posted before, that my position has been outsourced. Not to mention that the company I work for (20 miles away) is a very LARGE company. Several parks in the area I work, but in the park I work at there are 14000 employees. And they chose to outsource the mainframe computer. Which affects 4 operators and about ten other associates who support the mainframe. Unfortunately the company has not even tried to absorb us in other areas. So...my options are... Take the severence and be on their payroll until the fall, then unemployment. (expected end date of employment is June 18) OR take a position with the outsourcing company which is 62+ miles from my house on the interstate one way. Did the interview, haven't heard money offer, and their insurance sucks. No mental health. That portion is combined with the medical, which of course difficult child's doctor is not on it. husband's insurance is just as bad, but he DOES have mental health. OK...I have been so stressed. husband won't tell me anything. No input. Says my decision. OK, if I don't take the job, and fall comes around, unemployment just isn't going to pay the bills. Mainframe work just isn't around and I would have to drive regardless. I make decent money and don't expect as much from the new company, but we'll see. Job offers on Thursday. They only work 3 days a week. Or should I say nights, as that is what they are hiring. 7pm - 7am. But on the plus side, they only work three days a week.

If I chose not to take the job, I would be stressed, nervous...every single day not knowing what will happen when the severence ran out. Been through the unemployment thing, bankrupcy thing. It is pretty scary not knowing how you are going to eat. This is by far the hardest decision I ever had to make. But it looks as if I HAVE to take the job and just look for something closer while I have a job. Atleast we'll still have a house. Less fighting with difficult child I assume. But I am scared.
