Let's say you were working for a company and you pretty much hated your current position, but you were trying to advance because there was a position that you really would love. Your wages are only enough to make ends meet. The company is in dire straights and is offering a number of employess the option of being laid off with a 3000 dollar severance package, or they can keep you on with a 40 percent paycut. Do you take the severance and hope that you find another job, or do you stay on earning much less, having to tighten your belt even further, but hoping that you'll one day land your dream job within the company?I don't know... I would probably take the package. I don't think I could feel secure with that company anymore if I stayed on, hope of moving up be damned.
