Just had my annual review, and my supervisor - a good friend of mine - spent the last 5-10 minutes thanking me for sticking through all of the nonsense that our team has had to endure over the last year or so, etc. I feel so guilty and awful right now.
Did you get an offer from the other job?
No, haven't even interviewed yet (they're waiting to meet a diversity quota first), but was basically told it was mine to lose. The hiring Director is also my former manager.
Were you friends before working for them? Even still, just feeling like that shows you're way more loyal to them than they would be to you if you were deemed replaceable/redundant.
We were not, but we've become close since starting working with each other. I know he wouldn't hold it against me for leaving, as that's not the kind of person he is, I just feel bad is all.
