just imagine,its 6 weeks until Christmas and you've just bought a new house, but the firm you work for in a high up position is in the midst of a takeover, now you're very happy at the place you work and would love to stay, but you're a bit unsure if the new owners will keep you on in your present role, when all of a sudden there's chance of a different firm offering you more money for doing more or less the same job, what would you do ?????
Given that at any time I could pick up a new job which would give me a guarantee to pay off my mortgage - I'd probably just get my head down knowing that I'm bloody good at my job - and in the unlikely event that the new management can't see the woods for the trees and seeing that "all of a sudden" comes around about every 10 minutes in my industry - I'd not worry too much about it right now and buy the 6 kids an extra my little pony each for Christmas just to make sure we have a good one.
A few of us were headhunted by another firm offering us a hell of a lot more money for a similar job, problem was their turnover of staff was alarming. Stability over money any day.
Not an easy one, I've been there where,despite assurances, the company taking over went through staff reductions and I lost out when I could have taken another position had I known earlier. Having been through it, I would take the new post, but we are all individuals with our own personal circumstances, whatever happens, I hope it works out for you.
If I was under contract , I would not worry , I would keep doing my job to the best of my ability, making sure that the job I was doing would enhance my CV & the future will take care of itself
Wouldnt touch sunderland with a barge pole. Place is toxic. Unless it was to buy the ground and turn it into flats ala highbury.
