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 would the money for the counter offer come from? Is it your next raise early? Be aware that all companies have strict wage and salary guidelines to follow.
• Your company will immediately begin looking for a new person at a lower salary price.
• You have now made your employer aware that you are unhappy, and your loyalty will always be in question. When promotion time comes around, your employer will remember your questionable loyalty.
• When times get tough, your employer will begin the layoff with you.
• The same circumstances that now cause you to consider a change will be repeated in the future, even if you accept a counter offer.
• Accepting a counter offer is an insult to your intelligence and to your pride knowing that you were bought.
• A well-managed company does not make counter offers. If they really had valued you, they would have made you the offer in a regularly scheduled review.
