- Do
you want to work for a company where you have to resign
before they give you what you are worth?
- From
where is the money for the counter-offer coming? Is
it from your next pay rise or maybe out of your bonus?
(Most companies have strict wage and salary guidelines,
which must be followed).
- It
is possible that your company will immediately start
looking for a new person at a lower salary cost, which
places your position at risk.
- You
have made your employer aware that you are unhappy and
want to leave the company. From this day on, your loyalty
will always be in question and your manager you risk
losing the trust you had developed with your manager
to that point.
- When
promotion time comes around, your employer will remember
who was loyal, and who wasn't. Those who threatened
to leave may be passed over for advancement.
- When
times get tough and your employer needs to reduce the
number of staff, your employer will likely begin the
cutback with you, especially now that you are a higher
financial cost to the company.
- The
same circumstances that now cause you to consider a
leaving will repeat them selves in the future, even
if you accept a counteroffer. Most motivations to leave
are not financial and promises to change these factors
inevitably are not met.
- Statistics
show that if you accept a counteroffer, the probability
of you leaving within six months, or being let go within
one year is extremely high.
- Accepting
a counteroffer is an insult to your intelligence and
a blow to your personal pride, knowing that you were
bought - especially when the initial problems still
exist.Once
the word gets out, the relationship that you now enjoy
with your co-workers may change. You will lose the personal
satisfaction of peer group acceptance or you could motivate
others to seek new opportunities which can destabilise
the department
