work questions

[car10002]

hi everyone



hope you lot had a good xmas.



have some questions about work.



the place of work is up for sale and was wondering if once its sold you can choose not to stay on even if the new people want to keep you or only stay a short time as its still same place and have done it so far nearly 14 years with current owner.



or is it the employer that counts even if you worked at same place for so long with current owner.



if owner that takes over wants to keep you how do you say no or if you choose to stay for a little while how do you tell them youll stay but it wont be for long or forever.



if you stay how do you ask if you can stop doing the hospitality side and do a different department, if current owner still has the shop in 12-18 months how do you talk to her about stopping the hospitality side and onto a different department and having a better quality of life.



is it ok telling the new owner if you choose to stay until you start to get too much work that youre establishing your own path and wont be staying longer than needed or can you say thanks for offer but its time to move on, even if you choose not to stay do you still put in your notice or do you just tell them and if you decide to stay but not forever do you just put your notice in explaining that you appreciate the offer and you are establishing your path and that you probably wont be around for too long so they know roughly what to expect.



after 13/14 years in hospitality industry am feeling its time to move onto other things with a better work life balance and not 7 days a week and trying to hang on a little bit longer out of loyalty and because of not yet being ready.



want to do other things that has a better work life balance while am able to and that is easier and more interesting.



am feeling a little tired and feeling like a well deserved break is needed and also want to be able to have annual holidays and cut back on the weekend work and have a better work life balance.



it seems at moment that every time you look forward to finally having a break theres someone that cant work so you got to cover for them especially holidays and you are only other person left.



​it seems so many people left the hospitality industry since coronavirus started causing a shortage where the remaining people are working harder pushing some out door eventually and if it wasnt for the owners then would have been one of the people that caused the shortage.



is it ever going to stop or is it time to talk to the boss and how do you talk to them about that and stopping the hospitality side and onto a different department within the business if shes still got the shop in 12-18 months.



as am not going to make 20 years wether the shop is there or not was wondering if itll sell before the 20 years is up or if its upto you to do something at some point before then.



just planning ahead for the future and using the news that its for sale as a chance to start planning as training and supplies will cost money and itll give a chance to spread out costs.

some examples below new owner.

1. thanks for offer its much appreciated but been loyal to previous owner and its time to move onto other things with a better work life balance and am ready to try other things, do you still need to put notice in even if you dont stay.

2. thanks for offer much appreciated, am establishing own path however am happy to stay with you to help you out until paths extablished and then put notice in.

3. thanks for offer its much appreciated but only avaliable for secondhand/other side is there any positions avaliable.

would above work, what would you do different

thanks
