Job dilemma

[THE_Liam]

I had a similar dilemma last year, remember me starting a thread about Southampton? My company offered me a promotion as part of a group of managers who were wanted to move down there and sort the place out, and I turned it down because although it was a promotion, I didn't want to move down south, and although it was an extra few grand a year the pay rise would have been wiped out by the cost of living down south.

It kinda turned out a bad decision, because I was doing the same job up here on a secondment, and down there it would have been permanent, and now I've been told that the best I can hope for is for my secondment to be extended next month because there are more managers than teams, and at worst I'm back on the phones. Worst bit is, Southampton has closed now and everyone there was offered the choice of Leeds, Manchester, Cardiff or Edinburgh with relocation costs covered, so I'd be back in Leeds by now!

Just shows what can happen in a company, to turn a smart decision into a shit one. Oh well, onwards and upwards
