Employee gets offered another job with higher pay, leaves new job after only two weeks, manager gets offended: ‘I laughed and explained what I was offered’

Finding the perfect job for you is a personal process, but hardly anything about it is personal toward other people. It's not personal that you would rather go for the higher-paying job, or the one that offers three work-from-home days a week. Your boss can be the nicest person ever, but if they can't offer you what you think is best for you, then sorry, boss – it's not personal.

If you ask the employee in the story below, they would say the same thing. When they started their job two weeks ago, they settled for a lower salary than what they wanted, because that was the only option they had. Now, however, another company offered them a job that pays $20k more, so a decision had to be made.

So yes, personally, the best course of action for this employee was to leave their current workplace for the higher-paying job, but it wasn't personal. It was simply what was best for the employee and their career…
