I lost my full time permanent employment because they are cutting down and I was among those permanent employees who had worked for the company the shortest time.
I got an offer for a full time job at another company. The first 6 months are a trial period where you can be fired more easily.
Then my boss told me I can stay at my current job but not full time. They are offering me permanent employment every other weekend. Plus I get to work extra hours "in need" or whatever it's called in English, not my first language, basically work that isn't guaranteed.
And then if a workmate quits I'll most likely get full time permanent employment again, and it looks like some people want to quit.
A workmate thinks I should take the job at the other company. But I have a lot of shit going on in my life right now and I'm not sure I can deal with also having to change job at the same time.
Sounds like they don't respect you. I'd change jobs
Angel Morris
Do both?
Jackson Parker
Then it's just the wrong phrase, as I said English isn't my first language. I mean the type of employment that is indefinite, from now and onward, as opposed to a limited time.
Brayden Sanders
Why do you think it sounds like that? They told me I do a good work and they want to keep me but it's the law those who started last are fired first when cutting. They could be lying, sure, but it's not just me, also 3 others lost their job, one of which has worked longer than me.
David Morgan
I'm not allowed to because the two companies are competitors.
Ryan Wilson
Also, I really have a lot of shit in my life now. This is the worst fucking possible time to have to change jobs. I would prefer to just go and do what I'm used to so my mind can stay on other things.
Julian Ross
Don't be a pussy and resist the change and new doors that God is leading you through. Say thank you Jesus and go forward into the unknown with your head high, you will succeed
Eli Peterson
stop crying, both jobs are shit, just pick one and try saving money this time
Matthew Bailey
Other company not even close. Not only did the first company disrespect you by letting you go, they seem to be in a worse situation than the other one, which is actively looking to hire as opposed to fire you. A second round of layoffs would leave you worse off than either outcome here, so just put in the work for the new job.
Jordan Morales
As I said I have a lot of shit now. Would prefer to not change jobs at this time. I can't discuss this shit with anyone though, and that's a problem. Don't want to talk about it here either. I hesitate to say this but I guess the risk someone will read this and connect it to me is minimal. I am suspected of crime and will be in trial in a few months from now.
I might get community service which can be done in my spare time. But I have to talk to lawyers some more I think and dealing with this shit would be easier if I could go to my same old job rather than having to change jobs. And the biggest problem is getting a criminal record. This new job I got they asked if I had a criminal record and I was lucky I didn't yet but I might have one in a few months from now.
Brayden Gomez
I'm not sure I like this new job, it's a job I've never done. Honestly it doesn't sound all that great, I think my current job might be better.
Carter Sanders
Sounds like your original employer might be going under, probably smarter to try the other job
Bentley Hernandez
stay at your current job, seriously. if they go under it doesnt matter because you have to work on getting your record expunged anyway, or become a mechanic
Christopher Bell
Not sure they're going under. I think it's to do with how the companies are competing for the same public services and there might be coming up soon the thing where the local government decides which company gets which services. It's a very big company with many locations so the company as a whole is probably not going under.
Andrew Perry
Not sure I can get my record expunged or avoid conviction, but I hope. Why mechanic?
Benjamin Bennett
>Would prefer to not change jobs at this time. So why are you asking us? Sounds like your mind is made up already
Chase Miller
I had my mind made up but a coworker is really sure I should take the new job and he almost completely managed to persuade me. I haven't said anything about being suspected of crime to him though, that's the thing.
Hudson Barnes
because mechanics are so in demand that you can work even with a record, especially if you are working for a small independent shop where you can earn the owner's trust

fuck my life
Hunter Cox
Stay in your current job, if you say it's easy to get fired from the new place, i'd worry that they just fire you after finding out about the criminal stuff?
Aaron Thompson
They might not find out about it. My current job they say I can come back but then it will be "in need" only, hourly work or whatever it's called. Not permanent employment or whatever it's called, meaning both it's not "from now onward/indefinite" and there are no guaranteed hours. If I stay I keep my permanent employment but instead of full time it's every other weekend guaranteed, plus extra if they have a need/hourly.

Keep in mind he may be projecting his current frustrations with your employer or, worse still, trying to manipulate you into leaving for his own purposes. They could be for his personal gain or simply because he’s pissed at the company and thinks your departure will stick it to them. Use your own best judgment, which is arguably poor if you’re prone to criminality, but whatever
