> In my experience there was always a counter offer, unless you are terrible :). I wouldn't give a counter-offer to an employee if I know that I can't really offer a better salary or work environment, and it would be even undesirable for me to have him accept it as he would probably always have the thought of leaving haunting him afterwards. Sometimes not receiving a counter offer is the opposite of being terrible. Yours is a terrible advice.
