Steve, I read all over the place that employees who take counter-offers are usually gone within the year anyway. Is this because the employees talked themselves to into staying in an unhealthy situation or because the employers are simply keeping them around long enough to replace them with someone without the demonstrated propensity to shop around? I've never actually been in this situation so I'm curious what insight you can share. Thanks!

Steve, I read all over the place that employees who take counter-offers are usually gone within the year anyway. More often than not this is usually the case. It's all contextual but if you take one of the more common reasons for leaving (being offered a better salary/opportunity elsewhere) the employers reaction tends to be an instant promotion and a reasonable salary increase to match. Money is rarely the sole factor in peoples decision to move on and over time the underlying issues become more and more prominent. As mentioned below, I'm going to put together a blog on the issue tomorrow as it's a bit too lengthy to get into it here so keep an eye out.
