Relocation not paid?

[Jor El]

No kids in the plans, and my wife's family is in the area we're at now.

I've decided not to do it. There's no need to go into more debt for a job that is barely offering what I'll get for the next raise here. Also, I'm not in a situation where I have to leave. I enjoy the work and get along (for the most part) with people I work with.

That sounds sensible and all, but tell me you will leave quickly if the planet has unusual seismic activity.

Brando's floating, discombobulated head will make that promise.

I've worked at a dozen papers in a dozen years, and only one regularly paid relocation to new employees. It was a small paper, but it took little bit of fighting to get the paper to pay our top candidate's U-Haul gas money. But they did. And when the new employee asked, they also advanced some money.

just took a job with a paper in kentucky that is a weekly. in my in-person interview, the publisher asked me if I had any questions, and I brought up the moving expenses. When I told him what we needed, which was over a thousand, he didn't even budge and said, "It's taken care of." Now that's a strong outfit, and one I am proud to say I will be working for.

Then I guess the paper thinks I really want to come home.

I always said I would like to go home. Never said I was desparate.

MOVING IS EXPENSIVE. Not only the immediate costs. But, once you get there.
That old couch and love seat doesn't quite fit in the new house or apartment. Phone, Electric and Cable companies want deposits on all new accounts. It goes on and on and on...
If a company won't pay to move me, I'm not going.

Are they offering your wife a job too? If not, you're incurring relocation expenses AND cutting your household income by half, no?

Turned them down. They didn't seem too bothered. Ho hum.

But, really, thanks for input. I think I saved myself a lot of headaches and a bankruptcy filing.

i only can hope your voice at least had the inflection of "suck it."
