I received an email yesterday, from my employer, with options of a voluntary separation program. The benefits offered are: 3 weeks of pay, per year of service(maxed at 60 weeks), 100% of your bonus and insurance coverage for the same amount of weeks as pay. Ultimately, I'd receive 57 weeks of pay + 100% of my bonus (12% of pay) and insurance for 57 weeks. It's a huge chunk of change to pass up and I know I'd lose a lot, with a lump sum and taxes. The process is that we volunteer by 11/10 and will know by 12/10, our work through date. The 3 work through dates 12/28/18, 3/22/19 and 6/28/19.
I haven't been happy for a few years now. I moved to this org (Finance) from an Engineering department, for stability and growth. Typical with any upward movement, it's based on how much ass you kiss and unfortunately for me, I'm not good at ass kissing/never have been.
So, with a wife/kids, I'm thinking hard about this. I don't think this offer will come around again, nor do I think upward mobility will be as easily obtained going forward. Anyone been in a similiar situation or faced with a similiar decision? I don't have a lot of people, that I ask opinions from, so since I think of this community as a family, I'm posing the question here.
