OK, heres a brief background.
Been working for a company for 16 years. Progressed through the ranks from general dogsbody to supervisor ultimately to manager.
About 5 years ago I stood down as manager as my wifes MS became so bad that I found it too much to care for her and hold down a full time job. Family first. My employers were totally understanding and kept me on the same hourly rate for doing a much less stressful job.
1 year later we were take over by another company. Many of the original staff have left because the MD of the new company is a cock and hasnt a clue how to treat people - it seems to be the companies ethos, however he has ALWAYS treated me with the utmost respect. Probably because Im one of the few left there that knows what theyre doing, and he doesnt want to lose me.
Anyway, I wont bore you with the recent goings on suffice to say I am extremely unimpressed with the new company and the way in which they treat their staff. I (along with one or two of the present staff) have been offered another job back at the original company, who have recently won a major contract. This is a new venture and could be good.
Thats the dilemma. I feel as though I would be leaving my present employers in the shite if I leave and it doesnt make me feel good.
I know, I know. I should man up, stop being such a pussy and look after number one, but the guilt is keeping me awake.
Any constructive comments?
