Whoop, Whoop..! New Job Offer

[Bondy007]

Sometimes when things seem to be going in a never ending downward spiral of despair in terms of finance and just general luck. And you can't see anything good ever coming your way, then your General Manager and Finance Manager call you into a meeting. What's your immediate thought?
Redundancy?

Apparently not. Promotion, payrise and the offer of employment in a completely different job role to that which you have basically been doing for 25 years...
Take the weekend to think about it and let us know on monday...!

Yes, have thunk and thunk... I'd be foolish not to accept. Feel a bit guilty (but not that much) about leaving my current boss in sticky situation but hey ho!
In present company been in a Quality based role for the last 5 years, which is basically what i've done all of my career. The new role is in the Finance department - yes, seems a million miles away from where i've been but... I'm a spreadsheet/database/data analysis/maths geek so they decided they would "headhunt" me for the role rather than search outside the business and employ someone just cos they've got an accountancy degree or similar.

Errr, no not really...

Congratulations!

Would ask a few questions of them - will they still count your 25 years when you shift to the new job as continuity of service (for things like annual leave amounts/redundancy etc)? Do you have to do a probationary period? and what actually happens if unsuited?
