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?
我正處於極度猶豫之中,不知道是否應該接受自願裁員。公司爲此將向我提供大筆遣散費,再加上我的養老金,就算我再也不工作,這些錢也差不多夠我生活。我並不是不喜歡我的工作,雖然我的確覺得工作越來越無聊。理論上,我喜歡這種能逃開現有工作的想法,但是對於接下來該做什麼我一點主意也沒有,而且我還沒準備好下半輩子就靠修剪玫瑰花度過。我應該留下來,還是同意自願裁員,拿到遣散費?我懷疑再也不會有機會領取這麼大一筆遣散費了。
