If they like living together, then they should not seperate just for commuting purposes. It would also cost more. Personal life and happiness takes priority over work

Im really sorry to hear. Take a week off to relax and chill then think about the job offer.
It is kind of far, but if theres nothing out there, i guess that one would do for a while.

I concur. IME, short-term resume fodder is still better than an unexplained period of unemployment on your resume. Take the job offer for the short-term, but keep your eyes open for better employment. Commutes aren't always stressful. Sometimes they allow you to clear your head after work, so you aren't bringing your work problems home.

Let me phrase my statement better: Both move out of your old place and find a new place located in between both work places. I did not mean to suggest separation. I meant relocating together. A 30 mi commute for each of them sounds reasonable.

That would be tough to find a place to accommodate our tanks

I wouldn't mind moving, but the 265 and the 300 would be tough to move, let alone finding a place to move them. One of the strong selling points of my current house was the large room with a concrete floor. Having the basement in the room adjacent to it was a huge bonus as well.

Man I hate how jobs work out. I won't be working here soon enough, no work, no job, no money (but I'll have time to come and get that 135 from you two ). Anyways, it sucks to loose a good position, but there is always a better one somewhere else.

At least you have a great position to flaunt on your resume.

At first I was worried about what other employers might say about me only working there for nine months but how is that my fault if they decided to close the building I worked in?

Thank you to all who read and all who replied. I value your input. I think in the long run losing my job at the bank will be a blessing in disguise. I don't particularly enjoy banking but I will miss the people I worked with. It's an inconvenience to me now but hopefully I will find something even better.

That is not pleaseant at all. i do not know the terms of the merger but have you tried persuading the regional president to keep you at your current position or maybe promote you? As you have stated, you have been promoted several times this year. IMO you should make yourself stand out in the office (which you have probably done by your work) and use that as your arguement to either keep your current position or be promoted through this merger.

*any action you take you take at your own risk.

For those who don't know, I am the assistant manager at a bank. I take loan applications, open new accounts, help the branch make its sales goals, pay the bills, balance the atm, keep us in compliance with federal regulations, deal with the NSF people, etc. Today the regional president, the sales manager and our region's head of hr walked into our branch and started yanking people into the office.

It turns out that they've decided to "consolidate" my branch with another branch and that I'm basically out of a job. All of the accounts we worked so hard to open will now belong to another branch that did nothing to get them. I feel like a lot of my hard work is down the drain. They offered me another position at another location but it's in another town and I'd be driving 60 miles a day to work. I was pretty attached to this job because it was my first "real" job that I landed all by myself and since starting there in January I had been promoted three times. It just seems like all of that doesn't matter now.

I'm just so hurt and angry and confused and lost. How will I afford fish without a job? (Hey, I had to make it about fish somehow )

Anyway, I just needed to rant. Thank you if you actually read this. It means a lot.
