Off topic, but I got offered a promotion. Said promotion requires me to move a couple states away; a few days drive. It will help my career down the long run but requires me to say good bye to friends and family and is last second. Has anyone moved cross country for a job before, and if so, was it worth it in the long run?

I have been with my current company 7 years, and in that time I volunteered for every extra duty, I worked overtime, and I covered for other people. I found out last week that the promotion that I interviewed for (to get the pay for the job that I've been doing) went to someone who didn't even put in for the position.
Have loyalty to your family, your friends, and the numbers in your bank account. The company can go fuck itself.
A hard lesson for sure.
Remember, they can ignore your contributions,sacrifice, and reputation. They cannot ignore your skills.
In my case, my director has ignored my skills. Too bad she had her assistant tell me to clean up the document vault. 😇
