Congrats for moving to a job closer to home. It will really help with your off-work time to not have so much of it eaten up by travel. Even if it's only a little bit different distance-wise, it will help a lot.

Yeah, they didn't make it easy though.
Offered me a promotion, car and fuel card and work from home Fridays.

I mean the money would he ace, but being able to have breakfast with my wife and actually cook her dinner for a change tops it. Currently spending 3 to 4 hours a day in the car

There it is. My hours give me the ability to not only pick my kids up from aftercare, but cook dinner for everyone. That's a huge thing and it's worth its weight in gold (or extra coinage)....you can always make more money, but the memories and experiences with your missus are priceless.

That's just my opinion mind you, you do whatever feels right for you guys.

Yep, for sure. In fact it should tell you that if they are desperate to not let you leave, they were getting you for a song and you're worth more and they know it and only cop to that when you're willing to walk.

You should feel great about that fact regardless of your decision. It shows how good you are at your job.

Congratulations Maccy I made the change to a much better work-life balance a couple of years ago and it was one of the best things I've ever done.

I understand the individual words in the quoted posts, but the way they're strung together? Nonsense!
