Six Interviewing Mistakes

The Counter Offer

What type of company do you work for... if you must threaten to resign before they give you what you are worth.
 All companies have strict wage and salary guidelines which must be followed.

The Counter Offer!
What you should know before considering an offer from your current employer.

Where is the money for the counter offer coming from?
  Is it your next raise early? 

"Your company will immediately start looking for a new person at a cheaper price".

You have now made your employer aware that you are unhappy. From this day on your loyalty will always be in question.
When promotion time comes around, your employer will remember who was loyal, and who wasn't.

  • When times get tough, your employer will begin the cutback with you.
  • The same circumstances that now cause you to consider a change will repeat themselves in the future; even if you accept a counter offer.
  • Statistics show that if you accept a counter offer, the probability of voluntarily leaving in six months or being let go within one year is extremely high.
  • Accepting a counter offer is an insult to your intelligence and a blow to your personal pride; knowing you were bought.
  • Once 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.
