Hi there, has anybody here switched teams internally and had a positive/negative experience they would like to share?

I recently decided to switch, today I told my (current) boss. He expressly asked me to stay with this team and told me he already had plans in place to solve the problems I raised. Now I'm not sure what to do. Do I cancel the transfer and believe him? I realize only I can make the decision for myself, but I am really torn.

I do love the team I'm on _except_ for one particularly toxic coworker who seems to have it out for me. I have stuck it out two years with this guy and had direct conversations, nothing has gotten any better. My boss explicitly told me he'd rather fire the other guy than lose me but I just don't want this other guy to lose his job because I can't deal with his toxicity. Everybody else on the team agrees he is unprofessional and rude, but also kind of shrugs their shoulders and have the "its a job" type attitude whereas I think life's too short to work with people that make you feel small.

Stories and advice of all kinds are welcome.

Thanks!
