Top Reasons the Human Resources Industry Advises Against Accepting a Counteroffer
You have made your company aware that you are unhappy. Your loyalty will always be in question going forward.
Your career path will be blocked. When promotion time comes, your company will hesitate to choose you over someone who is loyal.
When times get tough, your company will begin the cutbacks with you.
Accepting a counteroffer is insulting to your intelligence and to your pride.
Where is the money for the counteroffer coming from? Often it is your next raise early, and you won't discover this until they have already bought the time they needed.
Companies use counteroffers as a short-term band-aid to prevent the inconvenience of a gap in their staffing. They will immediately start looking to replace you on their own terms.
The same circumstances that you are basing your decision to leave on will still be there.
Statistics show that if you accept a counteroffer, there is an extremely high probability of leaving or being let go within six months to one year.
Your relationship with your co-workers will never be the same once the word gets out. You will lose peer group acceptance.
Do you want to work for a company that only offers you something as a knee-jerk reaction based on your threat to leave?
