or at least some different points of view.

I have a dilemma that I thought you'd all help me resolve. I've been at my 
current job for almost 5 years now. Unfortunately over the last 6 months or so 
this job has become extremely frustrating, and has become what I think as too 
much like work. Our group has shed developers to such an extent that I'm the 
last developer of what was 4 java and 2 CF coders. Needless to say I've been 
expecting to take up the slack. In that 6 months I've seen a set of what I 
think of as very bad decisions be made, that I think will harm the company. 
Promises were made and never followed through. After the others have left I've 
been expected to pick up the slack, without really having the training or the 
skill set required. They finally sent me for some training a month ago. 

Last week the last straw happened. The project that I had shepherded from the 
beginning and had worked on for the last 8 months was taken away from me and 
given to an outside company. Quite frankly from the work I've seen so far, 
these people are simply incompetent. The best I can see is that they'll ruin 
the app and blame its failure on me.

Anyhow I just got a job offer that is very attractive, it means making quite a 
lot more money a year, with the possibility of a telecommute after 6 months. 
The biggest problem is that it will involve a commute into the DC area. 

So the question is do I jump ship or wait to see if things improve, or at the 
very least until I fully vest. Currently I'm at about 80%. I have about 6 weeks 
left before I fully vest. I don't think that this new job will wait that long. 

So any suggestions will be appreciated. Also just in case someone from work may 
read this please obscure my email in your responses, I really don't want to 
have to deal with any potential retaliation from the pointy haired bosses.
