Ten Reasons to Decline a Counter Offer
|
- 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 counter offer coming from? Are they
merely paying you your next raise early? All companies have strict
salary guidelines which must be followed.
- Your employer will immediately start looking for someone to fill your job
at a cheaper price.
- You have now made your employer aware that you are unhappy. From
that day on, your loyalty will be in question.
- When promotion time comes around, your boss will remember who
has been loyal and who hasn't.
- When times get tough, the first cutback could be you.
- The same circumstances that caused you to consider a new job will
always repeat themselves in the future.
- Statistics show that if you accept a counter offer, the probability of
voluntarily leaving in six months or being let go within one year are
extremely high.
- The idea that you've been "bought" to stay on is insult to your
intelligence and a blow to your personal pride.
- 80% of all employees who accept a counter offer are no longer with
their employer after one year.
