(26,129 posts)My co. reorganized and we are under a new VP who is trying to make a name for himself by making stupid risky moves that will show profit at first but will lose a lot of money by the end of the first year. He's relatively young and totally clueless, but thinks he's the smartest. He wants to outsource part of my dept. and I totally refuse to be the one that has to lay off people I've worked with for up to 18 years. There's several other moves he wants to make, all of which will hurt in the long run and could put us legally at risk. If I stay, I will be the person he yells at for the problems he created and will have to clean them up, even though I've opposed him. I'd also have to get re-certified and last time I worked until at least 10 pm 5 days a week and on the weekend as well. I am not in great health and just can't be sitting, studying, and working on my "builds" 13-15 hours a day for three months. Oh yeah, my bonuses will also be going away after July, again thanks to the new jerk. I will only lose $119/month by retiring at 65 vs. 66 but my life would be pure hell if I stayed. So, sayonara.
