Reasons Of Not Accepting Counter Offer. 🔗

  • Probably, compensation is not the only reason why you decided to consider other companies. If you accept counter offer, those things that bother you will stay.

  • Trust is gone. You will be marked as “not dedicated employee”. Guess who will be the first during staff reduction? Guess for which role employer will place an open vacancy?

  • You should forget about promotions.

  • You might feel like you lost a good opportunity when you have not joined another company. However, same feeling may appear if new place is worse than previous.

  • Possibly the tasks that you will get assigned to won’t be that interesting, because again - you are “not dedicated employee”.

  • You will feel like you betrayed the company, when forced to make them give you a counter offer.

Life is about choices. Some we regret, some we’re proud of. Some will haunt us forever. © Graham Brown
