Can somebody give me a good advise?

Question

until last year we had a good GM who has taken our company to a great height. Due to some misunderstanding with the owner he was sacked. I look after the accounts and admin. and getting a very good salary + perks. NOw this company is slowly becoming sick and the business is slowly coming down as compared with previous year. I am really worried even though I get good salary in time. Could some body give me a good advise what will be my future. I have been working with this co.for last 7 years.Many thanks in advance for your advise

Answer 1

It sounds like to me your company has went with the wrong management team. You may start working on your resume.

Sorry

Answer 2

Keep your eyes out for other opportunities on the horizon. This does not necessarily mean that you want to leave your job right away, but keep note of other jobs in your community or surrounding area that may employ your skills and experience.

Most companies, no matter how stable or established they are, will go through decline or downfall.

I would say keep your job for as long as you can. Remember to save any excess money in a bank account as raincheck funds incase the company goes down. (33% or 10% of your paycheck)

Also, remember to keep your pay-stubs; this proves how loyal you can be to a company. In a new company that may employ you, they will look at this.

Answer 3

You don't say how big your company is, though it sounds pretty small... 7 years is a good amount of time, but realize that it means more to you then it does to them -- what I mean is, they can let you go at any time, without feeling bad about it. if you are worried about it, I would start looking for other jobs. do it from HOME, not from your work computer. do NOT let them know you are looking. then when you get another offer in hand, then go to your boss and discuss your concerns with him. do not let him know that you have an offer. just see what he says and see how that turns out. if the response is acceptable, then reject the other offer and no one is the wiser. (but more likely, you may end up leaving and taking the other job).... good luck.

Answer 4

Jump ship before it sinks! I was in a similar situation - and today I am so glad I bounced. Start looking now, while you are still employed. If the company closes up shop, you will be one of many out there looking.

You've been there 7 years, and have shown that you are a hardworking, stable employee. It doesn't sound that the ownership is too stable (actually sounds a little squirrelly!), so you deserve better.

Answer 5

You should always have an updated resume and be looking for new jobs. Even if you are happy where you are at and don't plan to leave, it never hurts to have a "fall back" option in case something happens. Start looking for other possibilities now, while you still have a good job and and good salary. Just don't tell your current employer that you are looking...

Answer 6

Prepare a fresh resume. Think about making a career move now before the whole scene at your present job moves any closer to its obvious conclusion. You have a vision of what is going on. Use it to your best advantage. You have time now, being employed, to research any companies or jobs that might be better for you and to negotiate with them. You might find that you are qualified now, with your experience, for a 10x better job. Don't wait!

Answer 7

your statements shows that you have got a very good exposure as well as a good figure to put in your C.V.
if the company is becoming sick becasue of the owner then buddy you have got nothing to do with that........but who is managing the company by the way? and whose policies are taking the company downwards? if your company is governed by Indian Companies Act 1956 then we can think something.

Answer 8

move locations... or step up and find out why it is the company is going down... find out if the BOSS who owned it before kept up on his shitt... most cases like that.. a boss who is canned..MAKES IT LOOK LIKE EVERYTHING WAS FINE.. but as soon as they get let go.. that is when THE TRUE THINGS start coming out.. and that's how a company loses more profit and business..

find out who is in charge of marketing and find out who gets the ball rolling on all the decisions and such... step up and be a bigger person... make things happen.. not sit back and freak.. if you have been there as long as you say you have.. then you have a voice that SHOULD be heard..

Answer 9

Ask the owner to reconsider, but then again since it has been a year, the GM has probably moved on to another job, but it wouldn't hurt to try and get him back. Otherwise, i'd try to get someone new.

Answer 10

Maybe you should just putting your resume out...start on monster.com. That is where I got my job it was temp to perm but I have been with my company for 4 years now. I am making pretty good money...
