Yeah, well you work to get paid - and maybe not hate it. Facts.
DavidMarlboro
Best tip I can give is be honest; "Hey Boss, just got a job offer; 50% extra pay and a flex schedule. Think you guys can match?"
mutekid
Better to leave on a high than a low

I'd be like

People who care about you want you to succeed. They also really appreciate the heads up, especially if your job is... difficult.
throwawaythosepoints
@op your boss is not your friend. just remember 'it's just business' is said exactly like somebody saying 'it's just war'.
isthisjunkmail
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
GrosseSouris
I'm usually a same day notice person. But, when you leave a job working for someone you like, give notice and thank them for everything.
GrosseSouris
You may also fast a matching offer. I went back to the job I left a year ago. You never know how it is somewhere else until you get there

Jobs need to deliver on 2 domains: earning and learning. Check both boxes, you have a career. Only one, you have a job. Neither, interview.

Preach my man
Endonae
Tell them to apply to your new job too
keyserv
Maybe your current employer can compete. You won't know unless you ask.
hoehandleharry20500
I had to too. I still feel bad, but my kids gotta eat
bassbastard
Just had a similar situation at 40% over current. They attempted a counter, wished me well, and I am training a coworker to make it smooth.

If you really love him, elope and then go to the better job.
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
SAY NOTHING UNTIL YOU HAVE A SIGNED CONTRACT WITH THE NEW COMPANY.
KeviKirb
I just had to do this. My boss was excited for me even though he was sad to see me go.
LokiShade
I put notice in at a place I worked for 8 years, thought I was liked and appreciated by the president down. No one even came to say bye...
sirdouglasbuttersworth
Well now that they're not your boss anymore you can ask them on a date!
RednapxpandeR
After you land the job, for sure, contact them and get them come with lol
Bobby360
Its great that you love your current boss, but you gotta do what's right for you, they would. Well done and good luck
BigTune
When a good opportunity knocks, answer. Unless you're a glutton for punishment, in which case, stay put and suffer in silence.
isthisjunkmail
Get them one of those “Sorry for your loss” cards.
Imgerruinedimger
I did that at the last hospital I worked at. Manager tore it up in front of me (no 2 week notice). They screwed me over so many times...
Endonae
Wow that's awful lol
HousefullOfHounds
They can always pay to keep you and offer you more autonomy over your schedule. If not, then there's no reason to feel bad.
ValhallaIAmComing
Work romances rarely work out
pugcashingout
You can continue to love him while earning appropriate amount of money
finetoroastasimamarshmallow
All is fair in love and work
MurmurationOfStarlings
As a managing supervisor, I am always stoked when my folks find good opportunities. Even if it means leaving. You’re boss will understand. ?
bushmuncher
A good manager will but not all selfishly will. Most managers are selfish, i aways recommend having a conversation about what your current
bushmuncher
Employer can do before going out to seek new opportunities but if it falls on deaf ears by all means take care of yourself first

People don't just throw away money. 50% raise means it can be paid. Your current boss should have been paying you that
oldshot
Does the "can be paid" mean it can be paid by the company they are going to, but not affordable to the company they are leaving?
imgonnahurtu
Not... at all? If you go from Front Desk Agent to Front Desk Manager you're still in the same field, but can easily get a 50% pay increase.
CrazyCatLad
I jumped ship from a senior level to a level II (one below senior) and it gave me a ~53% pay raise. Plus, room to get a promotion now!
imgonnahurtu
That is both hilarious and awesome. I hope you get promoted soon. XD
HackerJacker
You are making a big assumption that it is the same job, could be a big promotion
ShiftingPattern
The "in my field" bit makes me think the old job and new job are very different. That possibility aside, lots of possible justifications...
SideEffectsOfJuice
Right? People are making some crazy assumptions here just to justify being negative towards OP's old job lol
DutchGuyMike
And yet people can get paid wildly differently (but cooperate brainwashed us into thinking that talking about income is un-manly/impolite).
ShiftingPattern
I was on a business trip, so please forgive the late reply. Simply put: This isn't that. This has nothing to do with that. MAJOR projection.
SideEffectsOfJuice
I know that, and I also hate the paytalk silencing and the slave-pitalism we have today not just in America but too many other places.
LogicKitty
If they're a good person they'll understand
Isorikk
My last boss was like that. He was super excited for me. I still send him a Christmas card every year
NotAPervert
“A good mentor hopes you’ll move on. A great one knows you will.”
sqeewew
I left, got laid off two months later, and my old boss took me right back. Never burn bridges, and find good peeps!
BronkLuonk
This! I had to do this earlier this year and the first word out of my bosses mouth was congratulations.
TheCauseTheKidTheCourseTheCharm
Tell them you love them first, if they reject your advances tell them it'll pain you too much to stay
siknoz
True, if they're exceptional they'll maybe give a counter offer to retain great talent. That's...kinda how capitalism should work.
CerisCinderwolf
Have you considered letting them know you would prefer to stay if they were willing to meet or offer something comparable to said new offer?
Vortex153
Not just understand, but happy for you. 1 of my early bosses told me if I work for her for more than a few years then she didn’t do her job
CrazyCatLad
I got a 50% boost by jumping ship too 4 months ago. Hated my boss but loved his boss so it was win/lose scenario.
SpaceSpeed
100% @1coffee2coffee as a manager, I want to see our people succeeding, growing, meeting their personal / professional needs. If that means
mcneelyj
Most bosses can’t decide what their employees earn. If you give your boss what your offer is they may be able to match it.
SpaceSpeed
they need to move on to another position, company, career field... I'll help out however I can, especially if they've been a good employee
RamonCumberbatch
100% this I just lost my assistant and he was amazing. But we still talk and now are successful friends. I’m so happy for them too
OperationRustysBlanket
Doesn’t hurt to bring cookies and saying “it’s been great! Thanks for the opportunity. “ If there a good person they’d have earned it
bhobby1212
Pavlovian response been built, 10 years later daughter brings in a plate of cookies, oh fuck you’re leaving too?
sixothree
People won’t take this advice. But it’s actually incredible advice for lots of situations. Especially neighbor issues. Just bring cookies.
PineappleLoopsBroether
Just say “it’s not you… It’s me… I need so much more money“
sfrinlan
You just also have to be clear if it's not just money. You don't want them to think they can just throw more money at you to stay.
IAmTheBadW01f
Lol I would totally stay at my current job for more money, it is 100% the reason I am leaving. The best boss couldn't make up for the fact 1
IAmTheBadW01f
That I'm not sure I'll be able to afford to heat my house this winter
Dracon27
I mean, OP might accept that
IFoldlyGo
In the words of LoneStar, ". . . not just doing it for money...We're doing it for a s---load of money!"
Alsw20
If they can afford to pay more now, why weren't they paying it already? You will be the first to be let go in a downturn as well if you stay
DonteHaversham
Yea, I agree. If you they counter with a payraise, it's acknowledging they've been underpaying you. I say stick with going to the new job,
DonteHaversham
But don't burn the bridge on the way out. Once you've gone, the value you brought will be more apparent in it's a absence
SideEffectsOfJuice
You're really gonna just go with some wild assumptions? Or do you know some specifics about OP's old and new jobs we don't
Alsw20
That's how it works. You are naive if you think otherwise.
