My company is downsizing a bit in my dept (I work in investment banking..nobody is investing right now lol)..I haven't gone back to work but for about 6 weeks since Teaghan was born..been on a leave of absence and pretty sure I didn't want to return. Anyways, they offered a package of sorts (basically a portion of my salary, my vacation and sick days paid to me, and insurance for 90 days) if we wanted to voluntarily leave or chance not being laid off. I think I made out well..lol since I had been toying with quitting anyways. I just feel like with 2 little ones at home..I'm just enjoying it way too much to spend my days in the office. My DH thankfully is supportive and makes decent $$$...we just won't be able to save as much as we used to (or spend haha) but that's ok..in the long run it's more than worth it :)
 
I'm so happy to hear you're focusing on the silver lining! Sounds like it is the best fit for you right now anyway! Yay for being about to "officially" stay home with the kiddos!!
 
I'm so glad it worked out like that for you! Now, you don't have to make the official decision... and you got paid. lol
 
At least they gave you a decent out, Meg. You still have a job, just one that pays in hugs and kisses,lol.
 
Sorry about your job loss but it sounds like it's what you you wanted in the long run so you can't be that...SO CONGRATS?? And what do you need spending money for you get everything here for free :)!
 
Glad you are getting what you wanted (ability to stay at home) and get a little money out of it too. Wish I could do something like that, but I'm the breadwinner in my house so my job loss means I have to pound the pavement looking for a job...
 
Sounds like a good deal - especially if you were already thinking about quitting... sometimes it's nice to have a little help in making those decisions. Glad it worked out for you!
 
I am so glad that it all worked out for ya Meg! That is awesome when things happen like that!! Congrats on the new gig!! You are now an official SAHM!!
 
The only way to go Meghan! Congrats on the "new job"!! So glad your DD is supportive - the kids will love it too Im sure!
 
I'm happy for you Meg, esp that you got a package to leave. I'm not leaving my job until they offer a package, LOL! Anyways, the stock market will come back in a few years and then you'll be ready to go back. So perfect timing I say!
