CK,
I wanted to try to fix this one myself and it worked fine using Chrome. For the record, however, yes you have my permission to fix curly quotes and apostrophes in my postings in future. Thank you very much for all your help.
Hello, welcome to Tatoeba!
I remember having been taught at school that a dependent clause that precedes a main clause should be followed by a comma. In this sentence, I'd put a comma after "when he told his boss that he was thinking about leaving". Is it not really necessary?
Good point, Tommy-san. Comma added. :)

Tom was excited about the new job offer since he’d felt stagnant and unappreciated in his current position, but when he told his boss that he was thinking about leaving his boss told him that a promotion and a pay raise were in the offing if he would stay, so it left Tom in a quandary about what to do.
