So they recently announced another "restructure" which will result in my current position being eliminated and replaced with another comparable position with the same location, pay, and benefits. When this has happened in the past, we have been asked to sign an acceptance letter for the new position. Giving that I am planning on pulling the plug in April, I am very curious as to what would happen if I do not accept the new position. Any chance they would offer me a package?
My April 1st date is set in order to receive my bonus at the end of Feb (considered "earned" on Jan 1) and give the requested 30 day notice for someone in my position. I have planned to do everything by the book as possible as to not burn any bridges in the event I would ever need a job again, but the way things turn over around here, it is not likely there will be anyone who even remembers me after 3-4 years. A big part of me does not even want to ask as it may raise a flag. Also, I indicated (very professionally) that I would leave around 2 years ago unless they promoted me (they did) and wouldn't want anyone to think I was trying that move again as it may result in animosity. They've also played some games with bonuses in the past and I would not want to lose out there, either.
Should I ask?
