Only do that if the offer you received is something you would be happy with pursuing. By using an offer to get your company to promote you, there’s always a chance it could have a negative effect. Try talking to your manager about your goals and career path. This might be a better route to understanding what it takes or informing your manager of your interest in the “better position”. Hate to say it, but everyone is replaceable!!
My subordinate tried to pull it off on me. I simply congratulated her and asked her when is her last day. It is up to the company to counter offer, not up to you to ask for a counter offer.
Echoing all of the previous points, using an offer to force your manager's hand is a one time use kinda thing. When you try to use it second time, they are more likely to let you walk.
You get to do it once and the statement should be “I really love working here but I need to know that I’m being valued appropriately.” And you have to be ready to leave for the new thing if they don’t think your worth a counter offer.
Here's what I did.
I took an offer letter that was expired and I showed to HR and explained to them this is my marker value outside. I had this offer a few months ago, and this is my price. This offer is no longer valid - I just wanted to gauge my market value.
HR talked to me, and I got a raise.
Never ever do that. It’s always a losing situation. Leave or don’t
