Counter Offers

Reading through this website this morning and thought I'd share this on the blog.

The below article is from Maxsphere Solutions

Handling Counter Offers

The golden rule of counter offers is that good employers will never offer them, and smart employees never accept them. There are many reasons for declining a counter:
You never want to advance your career through force.If you have to solicit an offer and threaten to quit each time you want to get better treatment from your company, you are probably better off going to an employer who appreciates their human capital and rewards them appropriately.
You are perceived as a security risk and disloyal to the company.After you have demonstrated yourself as disloyal by looking for opportunities outside the company, you will lose your status as a team player, and your motives will always be questioned.
