20 years. Is this a job you like? I don't ask that as a joke either.....do you like this job?

If you're simply marking time then you need to go.....20 years in a gov position will have benefits that you will lose if you are fired. Those are important. Don't lose them.

It would be scary to find a new job but much MUCH easier on you if you resign. You need to decide what the odds are here....that's really all you have to go by.

As someone else said....companies are very limited in what they can ask previous employers in regards to perspective employees. That puts the odd in your favor if you resign. Take it from someone who has been fired from more than a few jobs in my old days.....literally for being drunk on the job or some such wonderful action on my part.
There's ALWAYS another job.

Good luck.
Weedhound Reviewed by Weedhound on . Finding a job after losing one to a positive test Anybody have any input on this? I'm not there yet, but I want to be prepared for the worst. If I have to, I can quit before discipline and being fired. There's no doubt I would be fired if I have a positive result. What do you tell prospective employers about why you quit a job you had for 20 years? Thanks. Rating: 5
