Good way to put it, the "relationship".
Two people are dating, one is an alcoholic. The other says, "I'm leaving, we've talked about your drinking 100 times and nothing changes so I'm leaving you. Bye." The drunk says, "oh no, stay with me and I'll stop drinking!"
Does that situation ever turn out well?
- fennecfoxen 13y agoWell. In this case, the company could offer money, and maybe even contractual guarantees of continued employment. If structured properly these may be worth more than empty promises.
- Domenic_S 13y agoSure, but usually money isn't the root cause, and who wants guaranteed employment at a place they despise? A person with a solid job that isn't on the chopping block (presumed because of the presence of a counteroffer) isn't job-shopping for a 10% bump.
- clemc 13y agoCompletely agree - look at what is the root problem here. Getting a higher salary and stay, is just delaying the issue.
- marcosdumay 13y ago> Sure, but usually money isn't the root cause Not so fast. I, for example never changed jobs for any other reason. Of course, I never got only a 10% bump, but well, we do need money, and we should try to get more of it with time.
