Anyone familiar with HR?

Some of you might have read my post last week about my boss asking me to work 5 days (I currently work 4) and if I can't do that, they'll try to get me a day in my current position and 3 days in HR.  I told my boss I couldn't make a decision without seeing a job description first and he was okay with that so I'm waiting for more info now. 

I was just thinking about things and started wondering about a couple things...

1.  If I don't accept moving up to 5 days and also don't accept the new position, will that mean I have to resign?  Or will I be let go by the company? 

2.  Does it matter (for future jobs, etc...) if I resign or am let go? 

If you have any thoughts, please share!  I'm trying to think everything through as much as possible before I get the new job description because I know they're going to want an answer very fast.  Thanks!

  • 1.  If I don't accept moving up to 5 days and also don't accept the new position, will that mean I have to resign?  Or will I be let go by the company? 

    I guess they COULD fire you if you don't accept the position they want you to have, but I think they would have told you that by now.  That's really up to them, but if I were you, I would ask if it's even an option to stay where you are.

    2.  Does it matter (for future jobs, etc...) if I resign or am let go? 

    Resigning sounds better if a new employer asks you in an interview why you left X company, but if they let you go, there may be a severance package involved.

  • To add on to what kellie said, I would like to think that the company would give you the stated opportunity to resign (instead of letting you go), if it comes to you leaving.  A good company will offer good employees the option in situations like these.

    He said "we'd hate to see you go" if you couldn't work five days... so it's not an option to stay at four days.  :op
