More details - This is complicated. I am a great asset to the company. The boss likes me and my sales travel actually takes me the 1000 miles to my Fiance' once a month. My boss might be happy and say great - we need more coverage in that area, or he could say no more travel to that area, or worse your fired. Any experience appreciated!

you should tell your boss. It is better to give them proper notice.

I faced a similar situation where I was in a fairly high-ranking position and knew I was leaving the company about a year out. I told my boss and was compelled to do so largely because of my respect for him and out of appreciation for the company itself, but in doing so it definitely made him think twice about assigning me new projects and responsibilities. If you share the same loyalty to your boss and company that I did, I would recommend about 3-4 months notice, which is fair and you can say that you didn't want to mention anything before you were certain. It's ample notice and preserves the work you have come to enjoy (by the sounds of things).

I would wait. Too many circumstances change in a year. If you live in a "right to work" State, your boss can fire you for any reason (or none). If you tell the boss, he may be happy for you but he may also start looking for your replacement now and if he finds someone, there are many reasons for dismissal (or forcing you out). I think one month would be satisfactory for both parties.

If you feel that worried about it, you should probably hide it. If it's a big corporation you're expendable anyway. If it's a smaller business you don't want to get fired out of spite. Employers are *******. The power to hire and fire is something they often abuse.

Whatever is best for you. Just remember when you quit to give at least 2 weeks notice.

Keep it under your hat for at least 6 months. Revisit the problem then. A lot can change.

Hide it.
No matter how important you are, you're expendable. You have to handle the situation in the way the benefits you the greatest.

It could work out that you keep your job and work in this other location. With the net anything is possible.

Well if he fires you can sue him because that is illegal. I would wait until the 6 month mark and then let him know what's going on.
