COUNTEROFFER – Why Would Anyone Accept One…..

1. If you have to threaten to resign before they give you what you are worth, what type of company do you work for?
2. 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.
3. The same circumstances that now cause you to consider a change will repeat themselves in the future, even if you accept a counteroffer.
4. You have now made your employer aware that you are unhappy. From this day on, your loyalty will always be in question.
5. When promotion time comes around, your employer will remember who was loyal and who was not.
6. When times get tough, your employer will begin the cutback with you.
7. In all probability, your company will immediately start looking for a new person at a lower cost.
8. 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.
9. Accepting a counteroffer is an insult to your intelligence and a blow to your personal pride - you will know that you were bought.
10. Once the word gets out, the relationship that you now enjoy with your co-workers will never be the same. You will lose the personal satisfaction of peer-group acceptance.
