The company and the boss has been good to you and your family, the boss is likewise supportive of your career and growth. But you feel that you need something else in your professional life.

you have to talk directly to your boss, do not send a letter it would make it formal and discourteous specially when taking into account the kind of relations you have with him.\ni would suggest you ask your boss for the notice period he thinks he needs till he gets a replacement. this is the least you can do if he was that good to you and your family. assure him that you would give whatever training needed to the replacing employee or that you would be available anytime they need you or need any information from you.\nbe honest about your reasons for leaving, if he has been that caring so far, i guess he would remain!\ngood luck

Be honest with your boss.  Tell her that you want more out of life than than the job you have now.  She will understand, and if she doesn't then you really don't need her, do you?  Good luck finding something that makes you feel better about yourself and works to your advantage in the long run.

Work at something you LOVE... but be realistic no job is perfectly tailored to anyone persons complete and total job needs.  Such terms as 'if you don't love your job then leave it' are not really practical to the average working person.  There is always some factor to the job which you will not like performing for any of a myriad of reasons.Too many reasons to list here.\n\nYou have to appreciate the real benefits that  working will provide you. Therefore a positive COMPROMISE is in order. Do not waste time with negative and emotional thoughts such as... 'I'M SELLING OUT'.  Another bit of wisdom is 'SEPARATE your work from your personal life' which means if your whole social and personal life revolves around your job then you may  be what has  been called 'the COMPANY MAN'.  Dedication and sincere devotion to your company and employer doesn't mean that's all their is to your 'LIFE'.  Your employer has a genuine right to expect loyalty to the company and a good work ethic from you. Your employer does not have the right to run your life completely.\n\nDo you get my drift?

Its all about business.  The person who got the job was probably related to someone in the company with clout.  If he was related to one of the big dogs at work it doesnt matter if they declined the job at first.  The job was probably meant for them to have anyway because of who they are related to.  Remember in any business they always look out for their own.  If you are with a company for years and they have someone who needs a job and your job is the one they want, they will not hesitate to sacrifice your position for their son, daughter, ......   In todays world of business we are all just a number when the big dog wants something they usually get it.

I have found that it is usually best not to mix work life with personal life.  Sure, sometimes people get lucky and become friends through their jobs, and nothing bad happens.  But often the person you become "friends" with will try to take advantage of the situation, or worse, one day may get promoted and become your boss, creating an awkward situation.  Co-workers especially in an office) tend to be back-stabbers who will stop at nothing to get ahead.  They just might "accidentally" tell the boss about a mistake you made and corrected.  Or put you in a position you do not feel comfortable being in (lying to cover for them).  Or steal the promotion/raise that you were supposed to get.

Let's see.  In work, you usually have to put up professional appearances.  So, I would say don't go there.  If your ex-boss cannot be professional with you at work..what makes you think he will be a nice guy outside of work?  \n\nWhat you just described..is a case of displacement..or kicking the dog once you get home.  He was frustrated..so he took it out on you..and you yourself said you couldn't take it.  I don't think this would bode well for a real relationship.  Think about it.\n\nAlso, I think you may just be feeling sorry for the guy..its true businesses can go bad...but thats life.  Many businesses fail..and he probably just hurt his business ...by treating you badly and hence..you leaving...\n\nLet go...and try to enjoy your new job.

take some time to think about how happy you really are with your job and where your career is taking you. if you feel like you want to try something else, go for it. you can always come back to a similar job in that field but you will never know if youre missing out on something you would love if you dont try!

Be honest with your boss. Tell him that you enjoy your job, and you think you are an asset to the company. Hopefully your charts have examples of how you have helped the company to make more money. Because that's how you can convince him that you deserve a bigger piece of the pie.

If you are worried about losing your job you could start looking for another one. Better yet start your own business in the field you love or work from home. Being your own boss allows you to come and go as you please and you make a lot more money in the long run.

it appears your close to your boss.  what i would do is have lunch with her, or just talk with her... and let her know your situation... tell her that you found another job.  then tell her what you like about that other job... then tell her why its hard leaving your current job... then tell her what you like about the job you currently have.  if you do this in order, it will put her in a positive mental frame of mind and you wont need to worry about upsetting or leaving people that you got to know.

Basically, what you need to say for this kind of question is because you are useful for them and the company can gain many benefit by employing you, such as .... (whatever you like) ^_^.

No.  Would you stay in a 'lover' relationship you don't like?  Participate in a club whose values you don't care for?  A job is no different.  You said you lost respect for the company but need the job.  You need the money...not the job.  Either quit and look for another job or discreetly look for another job while still employed with them.

You can tell your boss that you've done the best that you can as a mentor to guide this person, but you don't think that it is working out like expected.\n\nTry not to bad mouth the other person, it is always tacky.  Approaching the subject honestly is always a good answer.

Listen to me, you got to do what's best for you and you're family. i have been in similar situation and have felt the same way. But to be honest with you: If you're boss was that nice, he/she would not have promised you a raise then turn around and gave it to somebody else. He/she is probably using you, because they know you need the job. \nWhat i would do if  i was you, is keep the job for now, while you look for another one, because you don't want to quit before you have a back up. that would be worse.  Like i always say: Cheap pay is better than no pay at all. Go to monster.com and put your resume online and, you don't have to do any foot work except for when they call you for an enterview, and somebody will call if you keep applying. I got a lot of calls for different jobs using monster.com. Also got my job in less than 5 days. \nI don't know how you're boss is i don't want to put them down, they should have never promised you something that they know they were not gonna fall through on and that's wrong nomatter how you look at it.\n\nsorry it was so long. But i know how you feel.\n\nGet crackin' and post that resume.
