It was an increadibly tough decision, but the more i think about it, the happier I am with it.

Thanks all for advice and insight...some of the posts ITT did actually help me when I was balancing the pros and cons.
Oh ****!

Props!

Genuinely moving. I think you are a good person OP. Actually you are inspiring. Thank you.

And watch more mad men at your leisure.

Glad you came up with a decision you're comfortable with, KF. Being able to balance salary and working/commute time to maximize your happiness in both areas of life can be tricky; hopefully you find something close and lucrative. With the bank your wife is making, I'm sure you'll do fine (unless cost of living is truly hideous in your area).

Congrats! The money was not going to make you more happy and you will be able to spend time with your wife and kid which will make you happy.

My ****ing boss just quit. Now they want to "promote" me.

15% raise, 200% more work. Declining may not be an option...they'll just saddle me with the responsibility anyway while they take their time seeking a senior-level exec (BOSS OF THE BOSS, ldo).

Basically they want me to do the same job I just turned down for a lot less money (internal raises are capped). Eff that.

I am now looking into purchasing a food truck.

Maybe your boss took the job that they offered to you. You can always ask more raise and give them reasons why you think that you deserve it. If you are with good terms your old boss, ask how much was his salary.

Staying put has proven to be a mistake. Do not like new regime. When my bonus comes through in either a week or 2, I'm gone.

Don't regret not taking the original job, but I do regret staying. Have 2 job offers on the table, and 1 interview at a place I really want to go to. If anyone gives a ****, will post update when I know more.

King Fish seriously, I work behind the 7-11 jerking off homeless guys for cab fare, sure it is a long hard job but I would be stroked to make 250k a year doing it. Trust me, whatever job they want you to do is way better then whacking off random hobos. Do it for your kid (not beat off homeless guys)

Still there for now. I am too valuable to be fired ATM. Haven't had time to interview in person yet but plan on hitting some places up next week.

I may just start my own company. Dunno yet. I have less and less patience for fools lately, especially fools I am supposed to report to.

I told my boss today that I will no longer be reporting to him. He asked me why. I told him that he has no clue what I do or how I do it, and that he is wasting my time and the company's with unnecessary meetings where I have to explain/justify concepts he does not understand.

It is amazing what you can do and get away with when you simply do not give a ****.

Oh, and my annual evaluation is due next week.
