| Topic: Is it worth the stress | |

I found out yesterday that my boss has resigned and he suggested to me that i go for his job.
At the moment my job is highly responsible, but relatively stress free(im on mingle for half my shift!). If i were to take on his job, that would change. It is a massively pressurised job, and id be as busy as hell all the time, and pretty much on call 24/7. Id get a nice 5 figure pay rise for the trouble, but i cant decide if it is worth it. What would you choose, the money or the easy life? |

Sometimes it is more intelligent to keep what you have. |

Take the money, you can buy a life later.

Tell 'em you don't want all the extra responsibility, but you'll accept the pay raise.

Ive never really had any problem coping with stress, but then i have never had so much of it piled on me. |

Tell 'em you don't want all the extra responsibility, but you'll accept the pay raise. Its was only a week or two ago they were trying to give me a pay CUT! (for moving onto days from nights). But i like your way of thinking! |

Look at the pro's and con's of the job. Do you want to be where you are at the rest of your working career? this job may open more doors for you. there may be more responsibilty but that is part of growing up.

Money = Security...the more money you make the more you can save for the future, and the earlier you can retire.

Having worked in various unionized positions within the government for years, I'd have to toss my vote for the 'easy life'.
However, you could always take the position and delegate, delegate, delegate! |

to be honest in these times i would secure my place in the money until things calm down, but then later if you decide to do something else you are able...

Take a look at the position. Are there ways you could improve things to perhaps decrease the stress level? Is the being on-call 24/7 negotiable? I mean, everyone needs a life outside of work, so this expectation is just unreasonable. Perhaps just interview for the position, prepared with questions and see how ya feel from there. Good luck, should you decide to pursue it!

Now I'm 55, house and 2 cars payed for, and I play golf 5 or 6 days a week. Work, save, be smart. You may not live long enough to get Social Security.
