Top Ten Reasons NOT to Accept a Counteroffer

10)    They won't change. The same circumstances that caused
            you to consider leaving will likely recur in the future.
  9)    What kinda place is this? A counteroffer raises doubts about
            the type of company you work for. Why should you have to
            threaten to resign before they give you what you're worth?
  8)    Where'd they get the money? You have to ask yourself where
            the extra money is suddenly coming from. Is it just an advance
            on a raise you would have gotten anyway.
  7)    It's inevitable. Statistics show that 85% of those who accept a
            counteroffer end up leaving -- voluntarily or involuntarily -- within
            one year.
  6)    Your company is likely to begin looking -- immediately -- for your
            replacement.
  5)    When times get tough, your employer will begin the cutbacks with you.
  4)    Sell out? There could be a strong impact later on your sense of pride.
            You could feel like you've been bought.
  3)    Word always gets out. And once it does, your relationship with your
            co-workers will never be the same.
  2)    Future prospects? You have made your employer aware of your
            dissatisfaction. From this day on, your loyalty will be in question.
            When promotions are considered, your employer will take your lack
            of loyalty into account.
