Anyone use a job offer as leverage? How fast can your supervisor approve to match once u give them the deadline? Does it need to go to HR to review for approval? How long is the process typically?
My manager told me that 2 days is too soon and he can't guarantee it?

Another note: he did mention that I am on the lower end but it will be unfair to other co worker......... honestly, I feel like I am underpaid and he won't help me. My performance review is coming up, he mentioned that he could probably give me a .60 cents rasie for my performance review but that have nothing to do with a job offer because I have a deadline on that? That 60 cents isn't even close to what the other job offer

Absolutely. Time to match varies based on the situation; in the past I've simply based mine depending on how much time I was given to accept the offer. (i.e. if I have one week to accept, then I need a match by my employer in less than a week). I could definitely understand why 2 days might be too soon for a company with bogged down HR processes.

I have but not within two days. That would be hard to turn around. I was able to use it to get a raise within the next two week pay period. Mine did have to go to HR to be approved.

I have an offer to join a Tier 2 consulting firm next year (entry level). However, it seems like they have over-hired and they are now pushing the start date back by a few months.

Is this something that happens, or will it just be a delay as they say?
