I recently started a position with a wonderful organization.
Pay is average and I have a long commute. However, I just received a call from an employer whom I had interviewed with prior (some months ago & different position is open now) who is much closer to home where pay and benefits will be far greater. I’m torn because 1. I just started a little over a month ago and 2. I truly enjoy the people, culture and mission of current organization. I know I have to do right by myself and family which being closer to home (400 miles week vs 80). Any advice if an offer did come thru what might be the best way to approach, ask for possible hybrid work, etc. Thanks!

I think you should continue applying for jobs and interviewing as you are not crazy about one of the jobs and it is unclear if you will be offered the other.
If the company less interesting to you offers you a position, you should alert the other hiring manager to let him/her know that they are expecting a response in x days. (No company would expect a response on the spot; it is perfectly reasonable to take time to think about it). If they are truly…

My leader left. He had to find a place that respects his skills and dedication, not here.
I am depressed because of all the uncertainty and lack of support I am experiencing now.
How do you stay motivated and not depressed when so much is out of your control?

Truly, your current employer should have considered your location when hiring you and not hired you based on the probability that you would get sick of the commute.
Take the other position.

Also take into consideration that it can look great when you start then it can change with hidden conflicts being more visible, new projects bringing new conflicts, unexpected co-workers personality switch, new hires who can lower the mood, etc. The comfort you are experiencing now might or might not last forever if you stay.
