Think twice before accepting that counter offer. LOOK
AT THE SITUATION CLOSELY.
Here are ten reasons to say, NO!
What type of company do you work for if you have to threaten
to resign before they give you what you are worth?
Where is the money for the counteroffer coming from? Is it
your next raise early? All companies have strict wage and
salary guidelines which must be followed.
Your company will immediately start looking for a new person
at a cheaper price.
You have now made your employer aware that you are unhappy.
From this day on, your loyalty will always be in question.
When promotion time comes around, your employer will
remember who was loyal,, and who wasn't.
When times get tough, your employer will begin the cutback
with you.
The same circumstances that now cause you to consider a
change will repeat themselves in the future; even if you
accept a counteroffer.
Statistics show that if you accept a counteroffer, the
probability of voluntarily leaving in six months or being
let go within one year is extremely high.
Accepting a counteroffer is an insult to your intelligence
and a blow to your personal pride; knowing that you were
bought.
Once the word gets out, the relationship that you now enjoy
with your coworkers will never be the same. You will lose
the personal satisfaction of peer group acceptance.
