Here’s a good article about whether or not you should accept a ‘counter-offer’ after you threaten to quit your job. This hasn’t really affected me personally, because when I say I’m going to quit, I mean it (actually I got a very weak counter-offer once and instantly denied it)…however, this definitely happened to a ‘friend of mine’ after he threatened to quit his job. This ‘friend’ is the only person I know who ever accepted one of these ridiculous offers… just remember ‘friend’ – “Counteroffers aren’t about what’s best for you; they’re about what’s best for the company. Counteroffers are made by employers so they, not you, can be in control of the transition timetable.”
