My company is absolutely hemorrhaging talent. Exec. level down - people are dropping like flies. I’m going on maternity leave soon and dont plan on returning to my role once my leave is up. My manager wants to extend counter offer to a woman on my team who has put in her notice, and I honestly want to caution her not to take it. I’ve seen how the sausage is made and it is no good, and I believe the other company will be a better long term fit. Do I share this with her, or not my problem?

Tell her you think she will have better luck at the new gig, and only give her the advice if you actually trust her.

Yeahhh I think the question here is, if shit hits the fan and it gets back to your company that you told her not to take it, would it be worth it? Unless you trust her 1000%, you need to decide if it’s worth the bad position it would put you in. It sounds like you’re not happy there and that’s tainted your opinion (which isn’t a bad thing, it’s normal). But perhaps this person isn’t there yet and has more to learn. Will your opinion actually help this person? Like is there really no chance at all that this role could be beneficial to them? Maybe the answer is no, but worth reflecting before you take the risk.
