my resume sucks...

It's like fucking your ex-girlfriend. It seems like a wonderful idea until things inevitably go south (or, god forbid, you get back together when that's not what you wanted).

Clean break. Move on. Go surfing.

I was reading this thread on my phone, but to make it so I can read the posts easier with my poor eyes, I had it zoomed to a point in which I can't see the posters' names and avatars. I read this post and thought "This HAS to be an El Diablo post."

Leave it to Diablo to put advice into easy to understand terms.

See highlighted. What more needs to be said? You are the boss of you. If you don't want or have to do it, don't do it.That said, a firm and polite "No, thank you" up front is a far more ethical posture than taking their money under the pretense of staying and then bailing after you get out there.

Yup....Talkie Over....geeez

personally i don't find it unethical to keep your current job while you look for another. it happens all the time. i guess others disagree. /shrug

If you are still doing your job and producing like you should, I agree with you...nothing unethical about it.

Agree with you and Pogues completely. Companies will show you absolutely no loyalty. They will fire you or lay you off without a moment's hesitation. Ethically, all you owe your employer is doing your job well. If you're looking for another job on your own time, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, given your situation, that's exactly what you should be doing.

Chance.....perhaps my comment was misinterpreted-
Don't believe most would quarrel with the an employee seeking and reviewing other opportunities "on your own time" premise- You owe it to yourself and to those depending on you for a livelihood. - I take issue with the suggestion of agreeing and committing to the position and accepting the employers offer to move your ass to California knowing you are going to bug out at the first available opportunity.

heye wants out - I concur 100% with sheep's comment as noted here:

Nothing more nothing less -

Freaky... we lost everything about my plan, travel and suggestions on where to visit.

I don't think it's at all unethical to keep the job and move on shortly thereafter. The company knows full well that both a cross-country move and working from home are huge changes, and therefore the employee is much more likely to move on in the next several months. What the employer gains is significant bonus time to make sure that the employee's responsibilities are both known and ready for transition. Don't underestimate the value of that in a small business.
