Contract job?
Ok i just got a job offer from IBM for $20 an hour plus full benefits, but they told me it is an indefinite contract. What does that mean? I also am at a job now that pays 14.75 plus I pay $60 a week for insurance. Is the IBM job better? The other job is very stable and I just want to find out if the contract is a better job

Having a stable job is definately less stressful. Keep your job

Indefinite contract means that it might last 2 weeks or 15 years. And contract means that you'll be paying both halves of social security, and won't have benefits. I'd probably stick with the job you have now between that and the IBM job.

IBM was a great company to work for when my dad worked for them. Back than when you were hired you knew you had a job until you retired. Now you just don't know when your last day will be. I know people that work there and I know people that were let go unexpected. I would take the job, better pay and benefits. Just keep in mind that today could be your last with no reason at all.

Indefinite contract probably means they can terminate your employment at anytime, and not have to pay any of the normal stuff that they would for a full time employee. Keep the current job
