I need help in making a decision ya'll. I'm possibly up for a promotion at work.
This is what I have goin on now....I'm a WG 7 step 4, I make pretty good money. I work graveyard (11pm-7am) sunday night - thursday night. I work 8 straight hrs a day, no extra time for lunch, just 8 hrs at work is all. I can work overtime when we have it for either cash or comp time. I'm divorced with a 10 yr old son that I get once a weekend during school and 6 weeks of the summer.
This is what I could get.....A WG 9 step 3, I'll be making better money. I'd be working swingshift (roughly 3pm-11pm). I'm not sure if I'd get extra time for lunch or if its a straight 8 hr work day like I have now. Mandatory overtime on the weekends, voluntary overtime every day (2 hrs).
I'd be making more money takin this position but my visitation schedual would be messed up. Both my parents work day jobs so my son would have to go to my exloserwifes parents house, no biggie, but I wouldn't be seein him that much cause of the time I'd be getting home at night and the mandatory overtime on the weekends. If I get a chance to take this job it could possibly sooner or later lead to me working elsewhere at Tinker on a different shift possibly as well for more money.
I work in the paint hanger at Tinker, everyone says "man I'd love to transfer out of here, it'd be great and if I wasn't happy when I transfered to whereever its easier to move around from job to job once you leave the paint hanger." I don't know what to do...I could get stuff paid off, thats for sure. On 1, 2 week paycheck I could have approximately 80 hrs regular time and 52 hrs of overtime. That'd be a heckofa check! So, I can make more money but I'd be working the WORST hours possible and not havin much of a life in the process. The Supervisor for over there talked to me today and told me they've been workin mandatory o/t since last March.....so the $$$ is there to be made. But do I do it or not. I can't make up my mind yet. I talked to the Supervisor over there at 5am today, he said I can think about it but he needs to know today so, he's callin around 7pm tonight.
Any oppinions would be greatly appreciated cause I donno. And I know oppinions are like A-holes and everyone has them....so share them with me please.
