- Accepting a counter offer is an insult to your intelligence and a blow to your personal pride, because you know that you were “bought.”
- Where is the money for the counteroffer coming from? Are you getting your next raise early?
- Your company will start looking for a new person at a lower salary immediately. The wheels are in motion to replace you as soon as possible.
- 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 cut back with you.
- The same circumstances that now cause you to consider a change will repeat themselves in the future, even if you accept a counteroffer.
- Statistics show that if you accept a counteroffer, the probability of voluntarily leaving in six months or being let go within one year is extremely high. National statistics indicate that 89% of people who accept counteroffers are gone in six months.
- What type of company do you work for if you have to threaten to resign before they give you fair market value for your skills?
- Once the word gets out, the relationship that you now enjoy with your co-workers will never be the same. You will lose peer group acceptance and forever be that defector who was brought back.

Agree, once you throw down your notice, it’s best to see it through.
Reading the article, it has some valid points. If someone is going through the process to interview and get an offer you might as follow through with it. Doubtful the reason you are leaving will change if you decide to stay. For me personally, I’m happy here.
