Am I crazy?

Original post by Wendy

I posted last week that I had several job interviews scheduled. Yesterday I was offered one of those positions and I just called and turned it down!!!

Am I crazy???? The company had fantastic benefits and the salary was good, but I was very concerned about the company being around in a year or two from now. I am wondering what you all think.

In conversations that I had with the HR Director, department head and other people who work within the department I learned that there have been several layoffs during the last 2 years. The first floor of the building is half empty!!! It is so empty that they are moving all the executive offices from the second floor to the first and renting out the top floor of the building. They are also closing down two other locations and consolidating all their operations into this one. All of the people in those locations are losing their jobs .

I would have been the first person this company hired in 2 years and only because the person in the position I was filling moved out of state. I had lunch with some of the people I would be working with and I heard not one positive thing about the company yet 2 of them had been there for more than 20 years and the other 15 years.

After discussing with DH I decided that I wasn't going to take the position. I would rather have something more stable. Did I make the right decision? Just curious what you ladies would do.

Wendy I wouldn't say your crazy, you are looking into the future, why get a job you think you might get laid off from in a year or two.
