I love my job. I have been there 17 years. However, our company is hemorrhaging financially (albeit slowly) due to many budget cuts in our type of industry. We are on a hiring freeze and raises have not been provided in five years ... but I do not want to leave this job because I have a lot of flexibility and no dress code ... I work in my own office...and I am making enough money to live relatively comfortably (I am married with no children and two cats -- husband is on disability for epilepsy and severe back problems). I have flown under the radar on my days off by asking places if they are hiring, and not even the fast-food joints (for which I am overqualified) are hiring. The job market is really bleak out there. What I'm asking is this: Should I stay at my current job and go down with the ship (if this indeed ultimately happens) and collect unemployment until I find another job?
Would you stay at a job you love, even if their financial outlook is bleak?
