| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

The job I'm leaning towards is consulting/contract work, more along the lines of product engineering and manufacturing. I'm a Mechanical Engineer and I have experience in that area, so it's a good fit. Also a much better location. |

Location is very important!
Easy commute, lunch places, tolls, parking, safe environment, ....
Bonus would be a park close by to go out to eat lunch in the sunshine!
Sounds like a great fit for you. Best of luck!
Keep us in the loop about your transition and what transpires about the other aspect from your former company if you choose to file the complaint.
Your are a good person to take that risk for the benefit of others. |
