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.
