8 REASONS NOT TO ACCEPT A COUNTEROFFER

  1. What does it say about your company if you have to threaten to resign before they give you what you are worth?

  2. Companies have strict wage and salary guidelines. Where is the money for the counteroffer coming from?

  3. What will change about the circumstances that caused you to consider a change in the first place?

  4. Your company will immediately start looking for a new person at a lower salary price.

  5. Once you accept a counteroffer your loyalty will always be in question. Your employer is aware that you are unhappy.

  6. When it comes to a promotion, your employer will remember who was loyal.

  7. Once you have accepted a counteroffer, statistically, the probability of leaving in six months or being let go within one year is extremely high.

  8. You may lose the relationship that you enjoy with your co-workers. They will also question your loyalty.
