<prompt> Human: About a week ago I met with an owner in my profession who is looking to grow his business in the next two years and has offered me a lot of money to help him start new operations in different cities. He has also offered me equity in each location I start. The employer I have now is where I got my start and I run the operation door-to-door by myself in the management position. It is somewhat of an odd job but unfortunately since the only other manager recently left my personal life has become non-existent. I am on call virtually 247, 365 and had the owner tell me I can take a week off I just cant leave the area since Im the only one that knows how to keep the operation running if something goes wrong. The labor force doesnt have the skills to promote from within and the owner is not taking hiring replacements seriously. When the other manager decided to leave I was offered a 20,000 raise other manager made 150,000 I was making about 70,000 and that is when I was told Im virtually shackled to the building. On top of doing the job I was hired for every other job falls on me: sales, logistics, maintenance, quality control, labor management, production oversight, project planning, HR, food safety, I could go on but it goes all the way down to if a printer isnt working I have to open it up and repair it owner is cheap and bitches any time I call a repair man. My new job will pay me more than 150,000 just for production oversight and planning of new operations and more as more projects are started. I could work remotely 75 of the time and the new company has a lot of structure so that the on-call person will either live on site or rotate between people.I have detailed a plan with both employers for my transition that basically has nothing change to start except that two new hires must be hired in 60 days that I would train and they would pay me around 8300 per month until I start scaling back my time and working remotely for my new employer at which time my new employer would pay me a percentage of the 8300 and my current employer would pay me the difference based on how much time I spend on each. I am somewhat attached to my current facility because I helped build it and I would hate to see it fail but I also dont want to delay my new employers projects. He has been very understanding that I cant just leave my current employer and my current employer met me with hostility as soon as I said I had another offer. Heres the part thats hard for me. I have 15 employees that I really respect and care for and if this project fails they will all lose their jobs and my new projects are on the other side of the US so unless they can relocate I cant just hire them there.Does anyone have experience negotiating a deal like this or transitioning out of an organization that they are the center of?Assistant: If your current job will fail when you leave then you have been grossly underpaid Human: This right here. Your current employer has already told you how much the survival of his business is worth to him: 90,000year.Assistant: Yeah and the way I look at it as well, since the owner has admitted in our discussions that it will take at least 3 people to replace me is that Im really making 30,000 for 3 jobs which is also garbage in my industry. I dont get commission on sales or bonuses for keeping labor costs low. I mentioned today that we need to sit down and have a talk about a plan and get a contract in place and he said that seemed pretty premature. Im close to putting my two weeks in thanks to this thread. Thanks.  <response>: Close to? Do it, for all the reasons already listed.Unless your current employer suddenly wants to give you equity, which I highly doubt based on your previous experiences, then put in your 2 weeks.
