Has anyone here gotten a counteroffer from Rockwell? Just curious if it happens often. I personally haven’t heard of anyone who’s had this experience but I know it happens at other companies.

If you think you are underpaid, take that discussion up with your manager. But once you decide to leave... leave. I'd never counter offer an employee.
More often than not Nothing good can come out of accepting the counteroffer!
you will be the next on on the chopping block!
If you are not happy with your current job then change it! The best time to look for a better job is when you already have a job
couple years back a co-worker presented an offer they received and RA did match it to keep them.
This was before all the reductions when recovery/backlog was significant (circa 2021-22)
They had been there for almost 10 years and think the manager realized the pay had not "kept up with the times".
C'mon guys, stay on topic for the thread.
Plex acquisition: A Reuters article from 2022 reported that some analysts were skeptical of the high price that Rockwell Automation paid for Plex, with one analyst saying that "it's hard to see how Plex's business model can deliver the growth needed to justify the price paid." (Source: Reuters, "Rockwell Automation's $2.2 bln Plex buy raises eyebrows on Street," July 20, 2022.)
Corporate jargon: A Forbes article from 2021 criticized Moret's use of corporate jargon in a conference call with investors, noting that "Moret's comments were so full of jargon that they were nearly incomprehensible." (Source: Forbes, "Rockwell Automation CEO Blake Moret's Jargon-Filled Earnings Call Raises Eyebrows," November 8, 2021.)
Underperformance: A Seeking Alpha article from 2023 compared Rockwell Automation's financial performance to that of its peers, and found that the company had lagged behind in terms of revenue growth and profitability over the previous five years.
Blake didn’t know how to handle post Covid. He over hired. He led with dei. He let go of all the good talent that made the company good. I mean really. Scotty g and Jane Barr. Really. Is this the best? Cyril. Who is what most will say. Tessa Bobby b and Matt are the 3 kids from succession. The end is near. Honeywell will be upon you. Chirayu will be your boss
Someday the embittered guy comment guy is a dolt. Probably never created value. A mid level mba grad who started in sales and is a ppt expert. lol. You su-k. Your company is in decline. And you support it. Fool.
...... says the embittered employee who probably just got laid off.
I've been around long enough to know when the going is good, it's good. A lot of these layoffs are long overdue, getting rid of the fluff hired over pandemic.
But sales are down. We need to go back to basics: immediately get rid of all DEI hires, hire the best person for the job, hire the smartest person for the job, and put total concentration in new product development. Or competition is thriving, we are falling behind. This is embarrassing.
Yes. Agree. Loyalty is a worthless concept to a company. And red alert, most people at work aren’t your friends. Most will never reach out to you after you leave. Best advice my dad ever gave me. You will be overpaid when you first start and when you end your career. Your goal is to reduce the middle underpaid time. Go for the $$$ but make sure you are running to something that seems better in what is important to you. But leave Rockwell. The leadership is weak.
Loyalty? that's not even a factor. Your goal should be to get paid as much as someone is willing to pay you for as long as you can. You are just a number to any company but some don't realize it until they're being walked out the door. So, when you get that invite to a meeting under false pretenses be sure to ask them where's their loyalty.
Also, those with 20+ years aren't staying out of loyalty, they're staying because they don't want to willingly start over with a different company that likely doesn't have a pension.
Nothing good can come out of accepting the counteroffer! As soon as you accept the counteroffer, your loyalty will be questioned and you will be the next on on the chopping block!
If you have found a better opportunity, be transparent, and just leave!
Don’t be a wimp. If you want go. GO! Using it as a negotiating tactic is lame.
I have seen firsthand if they counteroffer, you are viewed as a traitor. A saw your srvp TM counter offer a vp GM only after B&b discarded this vp GM. Tm panicked and counter offered because she didn’t know the business. By that time, the vp GM declined and he is better off. Additionally, big Blake called HP to complain they had poached Ernest N. Laughable. Ernest now manages supply chain for a $60b company. Blake is clueless to how much he is hated and how impotent he is as a leader.
My subjective advice…”do NOT accept the counteroffer” if you have made a decision to leave then leave!
In the current climate, rA will likely not offer a counteroffer
You might get a better response if you asked a question that included a specific scenario.
If you are a current employee and you received an offer from another company, in todays climate they would likely help you pack your things. They might make an exception if you are associated with one of the early career programs and they want to retain you after putting time and effort into training/developing you.
I've never heard of someone staying after they've put in their notice, the external offer is always more than what RA is willing to pay, that's why we continue to lose talent. Besides, if things are bad enough that you're looking external, would you really want to stay even if they gave you more money?
Not that I have an offer, but I'd just like to know.
