<prompt> Human: Basically over the last 12 months I have been in the bottom third of an employee performance matrix and my manager let me know my future at my current company looks bleak. There is a small chance I could turn things around but not likely. I am interviewing with another company and my third and final interview is tomorrow. I think I have a pretty good chance of getting the job, only problem is it pays 51,000 a year. I currently get paid 65,000 a year and get a company car. I dont know whether to take this new job, stay at my current job and enjoy the extra 1000 for the last few months before they let me go, or just keep looking? My current situation allows myself and my fiance to save 750 a month in savings but if I take this paycut I will be scraping by every month.  <response>: Honestly, if you are already on an performance improvement deal, you should leave. Even if you manage to stay, this is going to come up every time you ask for a raise, a promotion, even a day off. This company obviously does not value you as much as they should.At a new company, you would be able to start from scratch and work your way up again. 5 years down the line you could be making 15K more than the job you have now.Although, word of advice: Dont get comfy at a new job and make the same mistakes.
