Should I stay at my job if I’m offered a higher position at the last minute?

i pretty much gave my 2 weeks today at a restaurant (i was getting bored being stuck in the same position), & the boss suddenly tried to talk me out of it, promising me a managerial position if i stayed. the thing is, i’ve been working for him for over 3 years, and he’s never offered me anything like that before. in the past, i’ve seen at least four less-experienced people get promoted above me. and now all of a sudden he starts telling me how good i am & that he needs me to stay.

i’ve been wanting this position for a while, but now it doesn’t feel good knowing the only reason i was offered it was as part of a bribe to keep me from leaving altogether. i don’t think i’d be as proud or comfortable if i became a manager that way.

whaddya guys think? (p.s. i do have another job lined up, it’s less pay but alot less travel time too) if i do decide to reject his offer, what should i say? i mean, i like my boss a lot, he’s great fun, but i’m having trouble believing what he’s saying.

Is Global Resorts Network better than YTB as both are travel businesses?

I joined global resorts then found ytb.

YTB seems to be an excellent business, but for last minute travel. It concentrates on hotel vacations, has an upfront cost & monthly fee. But I loved their owner’s speech on the travel biz, & their site is excellent.

Global Resorts Network is very new on the net, started dec 06. Its affiliated with a company that has been in business 20 years.. its the marketing arm. It has a onetime fee only, no monthly fees.

Plus their market is different … grn concentrates on luxury travel to 4 & 5 star resorts worldwide (though it covers hotels & does cruises & travel same as YTB)

But you can book in advance with GRN (as well as up to 72 hours before a trip).They encourage you to call them for special arrangements. Their prices are better

GRN owners setup Global Resorts because of timeshare experiences, as owners & sellers.Timeshares have maintenance fees & no travel choice

Which biz do U like?
