I am dithering wildly over whether to take voluntary redundancy. I’m being offered a large sum that, with my pension, would mean I could just about survive even if I never got another job. I don’t dislike my work, though find it increasingly boring. In theory, I like the idea of escape but have no idea what I’d do and am not ready to spend the rest of my life pruning roses. So should I stay or take the plunge and the money – which I doubt will ever again be offered in such large quantity?
我正处于极度犹豫之中,不知道是否应该接受自愿裁员。公司为此将向我提供大笔遣散费,再加上我的养老金,就算我再也不工作,这些钱也差不多够我生活。我并不是不喜欢我的工作,虽然我的确觉得工作越来越无聊。理论上,我喜欢这种能逃开现有工作的想法,但是对于接下来该做什么我一点主意也没有,而且我还没准备好下半辈子就靠修剪玫瑰花度过。我应该留下来,还是同意自愿裁员,拿到遣散费?我怀疑再也不会有机会领取这么大一笔遣散费了。
