I'm considering leaving my current job, got a really good offer but am really worrried about moving to a new team because I actually really like the people I work with. I was thinking of asking my current place to see if they match or counter my current offer, but not sure if I'd be burning bridges if I did that?

I would say you'd be burning more bridges by not giving them the option to counter. People know why we go to work, it's to earn money, and if we're offered more for the same role they will understand your motivations for making a decision to move. I would explain to whoever the details of the offer and that you would like to remain at the company if they're able to match it, but due the financial element it's something you can't turn down if not

(Since he might have to present as evidence) When I give him deadlines and ask for the docs he says he’ll get to it. It’s a small 1 man firm, and I’m the first assistant besides his wife. Any advice?
