Ten Reasons For Not Accepting a Counteroffer
Haha, someone forwarded me this today:
1. What type of company do you work for if you have to threaten to resign before they give you what you are worth?
2. From where is the money for the counteroffer coming? Is it your next raise early? (All companies have strict wage and salary guidelines which must be followed).
3. Your company will immediately start looking for a new person at a lower salary price.
4. You have now made your employer aware that you are unhappy. From this day on, your loyalty will always be in question.
5. When promotion time comes around, your employer will remember who was loyal, and who wasn't.
6. When times get tough, your employer will begin the cutback with you.
7. The same circumstances that now cause you to consider a change will repeat themselves in the future, even if you accept a counteroffer.
8. 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.
9. Accepting a counteroffer is an insult to your intelligence and a blow to your personal pride, knowing that you were bought.
10. Once the word gets out, the relationship that you now enjoy with your co-workers will never be the same. You will lose the personal satisfaction of peer group acceptance.
After reading it, I thought:
Top reasons why I think people accept counteroffers..
1) They needed the money. The new job stats were inflated to make them look good.
2) They were trying their luck and got lucky. You can't say no to luck, can you?
3) They never did have that much of a good relations with peers anyway, so who cares?? I'm getting higher pay!
4) They do plan to leave in 6 months..In the meantime, enjoy the given extra spending power..
5) Obviously they thought they could play they bosses like pawns...With the counteroffer, they proved it..So, better the devil you know (and can manipulate) then some new devil that you don't know!
6) They don't care where the raise came from. Someone's gotta pay anyway, why me??
7) Promotion?? What promotion?? Why work in a decision making position and earn peanuts (for that position) when you earn the same pay with your current position. No thanks, you can have the stress and lousy pay...
8) THEY HAVEN'T READ THE REASONS ABOVE!!!!!
Ok, I have nothing better to do at work......NOT!!!

I'm confused....
recent events have put me through a phase where I'm confused with what I want....
I've lost significant interest in card games...I need to revivie it, but I'm not sure how (telling myself it has cost me a bomb should help, but....)
I've lost interest...No, I've not lost interest in someone, which is a major issue. Bridges burnt don't grow back. Period..
I'm not having any luck with Liverpool...Watch them they lose...Don't Watch them they lose...
And my body aches in places I didn't even know could, since i'm not doing anything...
I think my time is soon, more reason for me to get myself insurance....
And I'm no closer playing Moonlight with both hands....Not in a million years.....
sob sob
