I know people get all upset when someone makes a post about real life, so please bare with me.
Today the store I worked at selling Verizon has been closed due to low traffic. I was offered 2 options.

Option A) I could work at a different location (which for me would be about 3 hours of drive time per workday). I would also take a small pay increase and have the potential to make almost almost 10x more commision than I was making at the slow store.

Option B) I could take a 2 week severance package and go look for a new job.

I only have 24 hours to figure this out and I dunno what I should do. Just wanted to see if anyone had an opinion on the matter. Also, does anyone know if I could still claim unemployment if I took the severance?

Any serious opinions appreciated.

This distance is "covered" by the small pay increase. Altho it is not enough to actually cover it. It is possible that the commision increase would though.

Take A. Jobs are too difficult to get at this point. For some more than others, and some less, but generally speaking, I'd hold onto it.

Can you ask for more? Try to overshoot what you want to they'll meet in the middle.
Even then, in today's economy, people want to hire people that already have a job, so the severance may only last for a little bit.

I agree. A Job is hard to come by. You decide to go look for another, they could get the position filled in a Heartbeat.
