There is also a possibility that the manager would convince the employee to stay, and even give promotion, while behind the scenes start a replacement process, so that in a few weeks when the employee has rejected the other offer, he/she is fired from this company too.
I wonder if there's a way to protect against that.
- kamaal 9y agoThere is. You should try to see through what the manager has in plan. If its a case of negotiation it might work. But if you are nothing more than a work donkey to him, and he likely has other pets at office who will receive his favors regardless, just take the new offer and leave.
- shubhamjain 9y agoThat's absolutely insane. I would be expecting that only from the most depraved workplaces. How often does something like that happen?
- eropple 9y agoRegularly. Never to me, but I've watched it be done to others.
- skrebbel 9y agoJust out of spite? Is there any business advantage?
- zem 9y agoyes; it's expensive and disruptive to find a replacement for someone on short notice. this way, they get to take their time finding and/or training the replacement, while the original employee works for them. it's a few months of extra salary for a tangible benefit.
- skrebbel 9y agoOf course. Thanks!
