I've worked for the same company for 2 1/2 years as a programmer / analyst. About a year ago we were bought out by JBS who believes in centralized IT, meaning all IT in one location. I had a brief meeting about an hour ago where they made me an offer to relocate.

...and?

I wish I knew. This past week has been extremely difficult for me, then this is dropped on my lap.

The offer they made is awfully generous with a contract as well so I'd be assured of a job for a decent amount of time.

I'd have to bring Keiana with and send her back on the Summer to her mom's, or vice versa or ... I don't know.

I've never lived outside of Wisconsin. I've been in Green Bay for more than 20 years of my life.

And where would you be relocating to?

Greeley, CO about and hour from Denver, CO.

Yeah, that's quite a move. I can see your problem with the kids there. Of course it's hard to give any advice on this alone, but I'll have to warn you that I'm leaving if I wake up in a couple of weeks to see the site blue, orange and renamed BroncosHome.com.

Lol.

I can assure you, that will never happen. 🙂

Just do what college football/basketball coaches do:

Threaten to leave for a better paying job, take a few weeks to [strike]negotiate a new deal[/strike] decide what you want to do, then sign a new contract with your current employer.

And if you don't take it are you out of a job?

---

Yes. When? No clue. The protocol has been if the employee is offered a job and refuses to relocate, they finish out the year and get a severance package.
