Promotion in my job. Good or Bad?

[United Pilot]

Hello fellow gamers:

I recently received a promotion in my job. Not a placement but a advancement. That meaning my hours are increased and more $$$. I can't determine if that's good or bad. Less time gaming and being with family. But more money which I could use for my family. Help me decide if it's good or bad in your opinion.

Thanks

It's always a good thing. The worst that can happen is you become unhappy with the hours and request less hours/pay, or leave the job.

One thing is for sure: In our struggling economy, an increase in pay can ease almost everyone's mind. Also it will always look better on the resume If I were you I'd work harder, longer, and save!

I'd say promotion. It's important to work your way up

no matter what happens after a promotion its good
a promotion is always good any kind of promotion

the paradox of thrift states that by using the money that is now in your possession you will further boost the economy by putting money into it, thus making your job more valuable and potentially increasing your wages again.

Depends. If you have a breaking relationship with your family or are already limited on time and hardly get to spend any time with them, the promotion was bad. If you weren't making too much, and you needed more, or you already have immense amounts of time gaming and family time, then it's good. You decide.

I'm not even working age yet, but go for the promotion. This is a crazy time, $$$ is really important. Anything you can get. As said above, worst that can happen is a request to drop back down.

promo is good. you can support your family more

 

[jumpingisuseless]

you gotta be able to support what you want to do!


money is never bad.

So you're still getting paid the same?
Anyhow it is good because there are more important things than games

Whether we are in a recession or not. Family comes first. I cant say its good or bad for you. You have to weigh the facts.

Are you financially stable right now? If you are why be greedy? Spend the time with the family.

If the extra cash is really needed go for the promo.

Im sure your wife will stand beside you regardless of your decision but remember. Your children only grow up once. Don't make them do it fatherless.

That's a good answer.

A promotion is not ALWAYS a good thing. Sometimes it can even be a step backwards in your career.

Also, sometimes the money is not worth the time away from your family. This is something you don't really realize until you get older.

good and bad, yes and no, 2 sides to the coin, pros and cons, yada yada yada, more time spent at job and more money but less time doing the things you enjoy and seeing the ones you love

its always good to get a promotion with this times and the economy. yes you will be away from your family and games. but its proven that you do need to be separated for awhile to realize what you have in front of you. and to be appreciate it more

 

[Toasteddude]

To everyone that thinks a promotion is always better, it's not. You need to weigh the difference between the money earned and hours worked. It may not be worth it.
