Today, my boyfriend turned down a job that would have more than doubled his income because he didn't want to upset his current boss by quitting. FML

Ok, some details, My boyfriend is a truck driver, the job he was offered would have meant a dedicated run instead of what he does now, which is just hoping that the workers get his load ready in time, otherwise he ends up losing a day of work, he already knows that he gets paid less than most of the other drivers in our area. The biggest problem is that his boss is his stepfather and he felt like he would be leaving him high and dry. And I totally agree that money isn't everything, but this new job meant not just more money but also more home time to spend with me and our daughter. On the upside though after I sent this one we sat down and had a long talk and he did decide to take the new job after all (I think it helped that the new place told him they were going to buy him a new truck!).

It's not always about the money

I think he may need to grow a pair.

What a dumb ass! I'd do that in a heartbeat if I could! Ugh. :/ he needs to man up!

So he's not a man if he doesn't take the better paying job? You sound like you would just like someone for their money. Gold digger.

Not everything in life is about money. If it is a desperate situation or if it would make you more comfortable in life, then go for it. If not, then why does it really matter?

Good for him. He clearly recognises his boss needs him and is willing to stay. Not everyone is like that.

Well. .. on the bright side.. He's got his priorities straight, not upsetting others. Just might want to think of who he'd be upsetting, and what for..

Is there a way he could double dose? Or at least try the other one and pick his favorite?

And your life sucks because of this how?

We can see he's a man who remembers other people's favor.
