Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Wellll... It would seem that after ignoring my last career offramp (a layoff notice last August that was rescinded at the last minute) another one has presented itself - and is accompanied by a big flaming freeway closure ahead. In other words after hanging onto my job for an additional 9 months Megacorp has made my decision for me and I'll be RIFed a month short of my 54th birthday. Same severance as when offered last August, but my NW is now about 8% higher and the pension I'll get at 55 is about 10% greater (not to mention the time I need to support myself before receiving said pension is now 40% shorter).
In a perfect world I'd have probably been fearful/greedy enough to stick it out OMY until 55, but the 9 month reprieve has made a difficult step much easier. Class of 2014 here I come.
