Counter Offer

11 REASONS FOR NOT ACCEPTING A COUNTER OFFER

  1. Why should you have to threaten to resign to get what you are worth?
  2. All companies have strict salary guidelines that must be followed. Is the money for the counter-offer coming from your next raise?
  3. Counter offers are usually nothing more than stall devices to give your employer time to replace you.
  4. Now that your manager knows you're unhappy, your loyalty will always be in question.
  5. Your loyalty will be remembered when promotion time comes around.
  6. When times get tough, you'll be the first to go.
  7. The same reasons that motivated you to seek a change will repeat themselves in the future; even if you accept a counter offer.
  8. Once you accept a counter-offer, statistics show there is a high probability you will voluntarily leave in six months or be let go within one year.
  9. Accepting a counter offer insults your intelligence, and diminishes your pride; knowing that you were bought.
  10. Your relationship with co-workers will change once word gets out. Peer group acceptance will be damaged.
  11. Statistics reveal job satisfaction is achieved through factors other than compensation alone.
