Is it wrong to....

[serialkiller]

Like apply to a company just to see if you can get the job, and see if the pay and benefits are better?

 

[spherrod]

No, not at all

 

[bigrash]

what's wrong with that?

You shouldn't have to be unemployed to find a new job.

if you tell your manager you're looking for a job, you won't be looking just for fun

 

[serialkiller]

Well, I guess its not wrong... but is it rude to? and would it look bad if I only been with this other job for 5 months?

It's not rude, even if you've been there only 5 months. The problem with being there only 5 months is that company's you are applying at may view that as a negative because it may seem like you jump around from job to job. I would also not advise telling them that you are looking because they may start looking (and possibly find) your replacement. Which would be bad because sometimes job searches can take months to find the right job. Sure you could probably find a job a lot faster than that but then chances are after 5 months of working there you will be in this same situation.

So to make a long story short, don't tell them you're looking, keep looking it you are un-satisified, but don't take a job just because someone offers it, take a job because you really want it and will be happy there for longer than 5 months.

Where do you work now?

No it's not rude. Your main priority is to look out for #1, and that is you.

Very true very true, my previous job I had during college I was at for 3 years... The job I have now is not bad at all... pay and benefits are both great.... but I came across a position for an even better company.... I guess I'm curious to what I would earn at the other company...

it's "is it wrong to" not "is it wrong too"

"is it wrong too" = "is it wrong also"

 

[moshquerade]

nope, they probably dont think its wrong to not tell you they are thinking of laying you off until it happens.

Do you think they'd tell you ahead of time if they were planning on laying you off? Or do you think you'd be the last to know?

They cut my hours considerably. 2 Weeks ago I was workign 32.5 hours @ 10/hr. (I'm a college student so this is good). Last week 0 hours, they called me up to work 4 hours on Thanksgiving because business is unusually slow. I hope I'm getting time and a half for that bullshat. But, I say fvck this job, I'm out after I find another steadier job.
