Is this weird and what's your advice on the situation?
I am leaving a job in 3 weeks. I am moving and frankly I don't like working in this job. However the owner of the company will not let me leave. He offered me a manager's position and I told him I would take it IF it was possible. I don't drive and the store was located 20 miles from my new apartment. I found out it would take me 3.5 hours to commute by bus/subway. I told him it wasn't going to work. He is insisting that it will and even volunteering people to teach me how to drive. He is now opening another store near my new apartment for the intent purpose of having me work for him. I have told him that I don't want the job and I will not be working for this company after the 23rd. He still will not listen and is trying everything in his power to get me to stay when I don't want to. I don't want to be a jerk and just leave but I'm starting to feel that this is my only option.

It could be. Put it in writing for him, sign it and date it. Make copies. So when he says you left with no notice you can say... wait this is what I gave him. Then go on with life. I would just go on and ignore him. You apparently can't change his mind. Don't argue with him or try to either. Just drop it and move on.

As an employer, he has no right to "make" you stay at that job.. You have the right to be employed, and you also have the right to quit whenever you want to, even without giving a reason. That said, I think he's trying to put you on a guilt trip. "Well, I opened this store for YOU, and you don't want to work there..." And he'll probably try to make you look like the bad guy. My advice, just quit now, and cut off all contact with this guy. Just end it before it gets to be something that you don't want to get into.

leave. a good boss does not hesitate to see his staff move up or move on. he sounds too "needy and desperate", almost pathetic; i am going to question his motives.

You've got to do what's right for you, not him.
