<prompt> Human: Throwaway here. I live in California.Hello folks, I am currently happily employed, but last week I received a job offer from one of my works competitors we both are contractors for the same major utility company. While I enjoy my job, I have come to the uneasy decision that the new job offer is the best choice for my family 8k to 10k a year more, plus my commute changing from 45-50m to 20m each way, PLUS being in a cheaper cost of living area since I plan to move out my current home soon. However, out of respect for my boss and an overall pretty good job satisfaction, I am going to be open to receiving a counter offer rather than just giving my 2 weeks and splitting.I understand that my boss reaction to this will be unpredictable. I respect him quite a bit, and he has stuck his neck out for the personal benefit of me and my coworkers before, and I think he really gives a shit about his employees. However, our team is currently overburdened as it is and they would sorely miss me, as Im the most experienced member of the team. As a result, I think I have quite a bit of leverage to negotiate a counter-offer, but I do not want to accept the counter-offer only to be considered an unloyal and disliked employee 6 months from now.Id love some advice on how to best have this conversation with my employer.  <response>: However out of respect to my bossYou dont owe your boss anything. With the new job the commute is cheaper, COL is cheaper youre making more? Id take this deal, put in your two weeks run.
