Navigating a Tough Job Decision: Choosing Well-Being Over Loyalty

I’m currently in a tough spot at my healthcare job where I genuinely love my role and my coworkers. However, I've been struggling with issues like limited PTO, long hours, and inflexible scheduling for months. Despite discussing these concerns with my supervisor for over six months, nothing has changed. I recently applied for other jobs and have found one that offers the schedule I desire and better PTO policies. Here's where it gets complicated: during an interview for a different position, I accidentally met with a friend of my boss, who later informed my employer about my job search. Now, my boss has made a counteroffer, promising to address my concerns if I stay. I feel torn because I love my team and the clients I work with, but I know I can't continue sacrificing my well-being for a job that hasn't prioritized my needs. I need some encouragement to take the leap and leave for a better environment, even though it feels selfish to walk away from people I care about. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you find the courage to leave a job you loved for your own well-being?
