<br />I checked with the staffing agency and their only issue was me giving my current employer 48 hours notice. Well when i did so they said thanks but there is no reason for you to show up tomorrow. I figured that was going to happen since i was in training.<br /><br />Today the President of the company asked me to do a job for him in their conference room. Had to relocate a light fixture in the ceiling and make room for a projector. He also asked me to go get the vacuum and clean out the comp... [ More ]

p.s. you better find out the policy of the staffing agency on this. Make sure they won't have a cow or sue you!

First, make sure the job you want to move to is still there. If the worse part is telling them you're leaving then do what I did when I had to tell my BF no, I don't want you to move in with me. Write on a 3x5 card exactly what you are going to say and rehearse. Good luck. Agree with konane, think gas prices.

Think gas prices which aren't going to get any cheaper. You first and foremost have to look out after yourself and your pocket. Good luck with whichever one you decide on, and congrats for getting 4 offers after such a dry period!

Hello and good day/eve/whatever LP Folks.

I have a dilemma.

I could not find a job to save my life in two years plus. Now i have four company's who would like my services. All @ $20.00 per hour.

I started a job Yesterday/Monday, 25 min drive, no big deal. Training on days permanent shift will be afternoons. Very interesting cool job, maintaining automated equip. They could use someone with my abilities to help them grow into the future.

I have 2 other company's 40 - 50 min away. Same pay, similar responsibilities.

4th job is seven min away, at a Fastener Company. They need a person to develop a maintenance plan for all their equipment and who is willing to be a dedicated employee and comply with all the maintenance in the facility. I worked with this company as a supplier for six years. Good company, going to be around for a while. Dayshift, flex hours.

I was at my other Fastener Corp for 25 years and 15 of them were spent on afternoons or midnights.

My dilemma is should i stay with the job i started Monday or should i go with the Fastener Corp? My heart tells me to stay because i don't want to let them down but my brain is telling me to go to the fastener corp.

P.S. Both jobs are through a staffing agency, same agency, different branches.

Signed,

Totally Confused.

What should i do?

How do i tell the company that hired me i have an offer that i can not pass up?

If i won the Mega-Millions tonight all the above would be history, BIG IF...
