Would you accept a counter offer from your current employer? Curious if folks have done this in the past and how their experiences were like. Any consequences?

Personally, I think that if it takes putting in notice for someone to give an employee a raise, then that someone is an abusive asshole that exploits people and not only should you tell them that in response to their shit offer, you should tell everyone in the firm how much you did make and how much they offered you to stay, so that they can take action to stop being exploited.

Employers need to stop treating people like disposable cogs, the objective of which is to bleed all you can from them. And employees needs to stop letting them do it to them.

My friend did not accept even tho that counter offer seems better, but she was determined to go because she no longer trusted the partner she worked with.

It’s not worth accepting because why do they have to pay you the fair market value only when you are leaving. If they appreciated you, you would have been financially rewarded for all your hard work throughout the busy season!

This is exactly why my coworker did not accept even though the counter offer seemed better than the one outside the firm -- it's a trust issue.

hi! just got promoted to senior & think it’s finally time to leave. not because i finally got the senior title, but because public accounting is making my life miserable.
