So for this job I have an 80 mile round trip commute. It is killer on me and killer on my car. So out of faith I applied for one job, not thinking that I was going to get it. Well I was called in for a interview, interviewed with the supervisor and offered the job. I got a 16k offer over what I currently make with the chance of becoming salary within the next 12 months. As well as a 20 minute commute in traffic!!! 10 minute in no traffic. Well somehow my current job found out that I was moving to a competitor and I get a call from the number 3 guy in my office begging me to stay. I was flattered and already talked it over with my family (mostly my mom and step-dad) but the commute was just to much for me to take anything they were offering me.
I wantd to update you guys because you were so helpful when I needed it. THX.
Don't forget to send a nice note to your former supervisor thanking him/her for being a good manager (or whatever seems appropriate), that your reason for moving on was the commute.

yeah it's definitely good to keep good relations with this company since you just never know.
also good that you didn't get fired.
