What would you do?
Oh, all knowing VB, I present to you a question which I'm sure many have a great answer.
Would you chose a very well paying job where only a few people at work are decent. The boss is also an untrusting douchebag. Or would you chose a job where the pay is half of the previous but many people are good including the managers.... For whom the bell tolls. |

Probably the good paying job.
Go to work, ignore everyone, do the job, go home. Stash away as much as possible, retire and tell them all to go pound sand. |

Had one cook the books and rob the company blind while he was telling all
the employees to keep investing in company stock through the 401k. Share price went from $90 to $1. Recovered most of it and and in two weeks it's |

Boracay, is the salary of the lower paying job enough to comfortably live on?
I have done both; having done so, I would adjust my style of living to avoid having to work under the conditions of the higher paying job, if needed. |

We spend too much of our lives at work to be unhappy and in constant "Cover your azz" mode.
Less money, come home each day happy. Quote:

Depends if low paying job covers your expenses and your alpha drive.
I have high expectations for myself and probably couldnt settle in the lessor job knowing I am worth more. YMMV. |

This. Have had both too. It sucks going to work everyday when you hate it. Make it as easy on yourself as you can. Hell if it takes a couple more years to make up the money what the hell gotta enjoy life while your here.

Hypothetically, yes, I know the job pretty well and enough so I've trained many. The financial situation is very well with household goods storage fees of $185 and food/utilities for the wife in the P-I. The $150k one is in a war zone while the half pay one is in a non-shoot zone. Can the boss be trusted? If you call trust when he pisses on your back and tells you it's raining.
Thanks for the answers, I'll go for door #3 which is keep my options open, hypothetically. |

I had a chance to get back a job I was permanently laid off from in 2009. 1/3rd more pay than what I currently make. The Douche is at the Co that laid me off, and he's a back-stabbing,brown nose shit head. I turned down the bigger $$. YRMV. |

Sounds like the db boss could use some competition. Go give him some, start your own business.

Knowing you can't trust your boss or people you work with sucks. If I could live ok on the lower paying job, that is where I would go. A future at the suck job might be short lived once you tired of said BS. Either job near Waner Robins???
