NWR: Job confusion (little long) ----UPDATE!!!!!!

Original post by njoseph8

I'm torn about what I should do so i figured why not get opinions. I have been at my current position for almost 3 years. right during xmas (and 2 weeks before I gave birth to my 2nd daughter) my boss cut everyones hours due to the slow business. But to supplement our lost income we were able to go on shared work unemployment and at least get paid a % for the days we were missing. I am the only person in the office so I run everything and there is no one else there to take over for me. Now in a few weeks unemployment runs out (doesn't work with regular unemployment with the extensions) so basically I will be in HUGE financial trouble. I decided to just throw my resume out there and I went on my first interview and got the call tonight that they are offering me the job. The salary will be the same as what I was making where I am now when I was full time. I'm just torn as to if I should just ditch my job now for a new one? I am very close with the owner and I feel VERYYYYYYYYYY bad just leaving. I mean of course I will give notice and help hire whoever and I will always help when he needs... IDK!! I'm so torn.. what would you do?!?!?

UPDATE: My current boss counter offered with:
1- giving me my FT hours back
2 - in one month meeting what job offer was going to pay me (not much but anything helps!)
3 - changing my hours to 7:30 - 3:30 so I am out an hour earlier so I have more time with the kids and one less hour of babysitting (FH goes into work later so the mornings he takes kids to babysitter)

YEYYYY
What a relief!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats awesome but i'd get that in writing and id have them put in a severance package too. My worry would be that they suddenly could afford to put you back full time bc of this other offer. Why not before? And how long are your hours guaranteed.

I dont want to be negative but this is business and you have to put yourself in their shoes. Sounds like a panicky way of keeping you for now. My co would so do that thwn down the road cut people back again.
