I have been working in a product development org for past 16 years. I got promoted a few months back through an internal role. A few weeks later I received an offer from a competitor offering a fully remote role in a different area that I aspire to work in. I applied and finally received a very competitive offer from them and decided to accept it.
When i went in to turn in my resignation, my boss flew into a rage when I mentioned I would like to leave. He cannot believe I am looking outside when I just received a promotion.
What's with people these days ,flying off the handle when someone wants to progress?
