GMAC mortgage

[vickson]

Totally unrelated to the current thread but I just want to know what you guys would do in this situation.

 

lunch time today at work, been looking at reed website for vacancies, I work in a highly specialised area where it doesnt take too long to get a job, anyway applied for one post and the agen then rung me in less than 5 minutes, he asked if he could pass on my cv to an employer and I said yes. well he rung 5 mins later to say there were keen on an interview and hopefull this week as the interviewer was going on holiday,

anyway my dillemma is:

I like the people and environment at my current workplace, although my role has changed in last month, and Im not very enthusiastic about what im doing now.

My mortgage will go up by 300 pounds from october so the extra money If i got this job would be nice. It would pay 5750 more per year than what I get now.

I feel guilty for looking for another job when I very much like the people I work with now, I risk going to work in a place thats worse than my last job. left my last job coz the people were horrible verging on racist, but id rather not talk about it.

is it ethical to move just because youve been offered more, or do i have to look at whats good for me first rather than trying to please my employer.

If they want you so badley ask for £8000.oo and move very few people think about there employers do what is best for you

Hi, I've known exactly how you feel, from having a similar dilemma 30+ years ago. Although, my manager who let me go, understood because my salary tripled for a 10 hour day, as opposed to 8 hours. I must admit, he made my decision easier, because he said, "if things don't work out, there will always be a position for me". But, that was 34 years ago, when contracts included loyalty. Bearing the last point in mind, have you googled the new company to study their marketing role, employment records etc. Is your present company stable in it's market (no redundancies looming)? I always assume that a company that's continually advertising for staff can not be held in any esteem. Another major factor is the £440 pm increase that will cover your increase in mortgage. Not least the expected rise in utility bills. But having said all this, I'm sorry to say, there's only one person that can decide. Don't procrastinate for too long though. Kind regards, Bill.

Another thing try approaching your Boss explain you dont want to leave but you mortgage payments are going up and the only reason in going is money if he wants you he may meet you half way with a pay rise

No chance with that Bona, they are already trying to cut down on costs and that is the reason why my work has changed, I have decided I will move if I get the job. We are just getting back on our feet and this will be an advantage for us.
