Honesty is the best policy, and your "loyalty" should belong to you and your family. You don't owe either company a thing, but if you are honest about it, you will likely not burn any bridges. NO employer is loyal to you. They are using you and you are using them. If your employer thinks for a second they could make more money without you - you are gone. Decide what is best for you and your family and go with that. I've been in your situation a few times and have stayed with the first company as well as moved on. In 25 years of this business, it has always worked out well for me. What I gained is a pretty good relationship with three companies that I could go to work for either if I had to.

So what did you end up doing?

Sounds like it's time to find some new pussy and buy a 4 runner

Thought about it a lot last night, and this thread helped. Decided to turn down the counter offer and stick with my original plan.
Thanks for the advice everyone

That is a hard thing to do. Best of luck in your new job!

Good luck to you in your new company.

Good decision.

Sounds like you made the right decision.
A counter offer from my employer would only serve to piss me off. If I'm worth the money you're throwing at me in the counter offer, why haven't you been paying me that all along?

Welcome to the world of salary negotiation.

You made the right choice. Feel good about it.
I hate my job and they pay me really well. I'd leave for less money in a heartbeat.
Good luck!

Just find a way to get fired from the new company.
Yep, all I did was fail a drug test. Worked out perfectly.

Take the job with the up and coming.
I take it you are still seeing a slight raise with the new company? As an up and coming business, getting in early should bode well for you.
Also you clearly don't like the current company, other people seem to hate it so bolt. Most people I know working for smaller companies are happier, generally speaking of course. Also in regards to that transfer they are promising you, be sure to get a firm timeline for that if you stay. Friend of mine has been waiting for his transfer out of nowhere alabama for 9 months.
