[quote=Anonymous]I work for a large company, in a faltering division. The writing is on the wall in a lot of ways - lots of executive turnover over the past few years, dwindling workload, closed-door meetings and whispers, etc. There are big changes afoot but I have reason to believe my job is relatively secure, at least in the near term (next year or so). I like the work itself. I like my co-workers and they respect me. I'm well-paid. I've proven myself, so I have a lot of flexibility, which is great since I have a young child. The day-to-day is enjoyable. However, rumors are flying that benefits will be taken away soon (I can negotiate for much higher pay, though, in exchange for them - complicated industry). The division will likely fold within the next few years. Morale is low and the secrecy and insecurity are frustrating. So the question is - do I actively try to jump ship now? Aside from the general instability, which I know is a major issue, I doubt I could easily find the combination of pay, flexibility, and enjoyment I have now. Do I ride it out and see what happens? We aren't living paycheck to paycheck and could afford for me to go a few months without working, but I AM the main breadwinner, though DH is actively looking for a new job (that's another thing - if we're both in new jobs it could be hard to be flexible, which we need for the baby). I've put feelers out for positions within the company, but nothing's made sense yet. I'm worried I'll leave too quickly and end up in a situation much worse than my current one. Thoughts?[/quote]
