You have made the decision to leave your current position, and then
your boss presents you with a counter-offer in a bid to convince you to
stay. What is the right thing to do?
Whilst the offer is
probably very attractive with a salary higher than what you have just
accepted with the new company, the reasons why you wanted to leave in
first place have not changed.
One of the speakers at the recent
CISHRP Conference made a very good point – people don’t leave the job,
they leave the people. This includes the manager, culture, and work
environment.
Therefore, offering more money still doesn’t change
the fact that you felt another opportunity would better meet your
overall career needs.
Furthermore, if they feel you are worth more when you’re leaving then why weren’t you worth more when you were staying?
These are all things to consider when you’re faced with the
counter-offer. In the end, you have to remember why you decided to leave
and ask yourself whether anything will really change if you stay with
the company.
