Flattery
Flattery or Manipulation?
Although it is very flattering to be made to feel wanted by a present employer after you give notice, the question you must constantly ask yourself is why do I have value now.
Because it is such a tough time emotionally for the resignee to leave, once committed to the course you cannot look back. Your job as a candidate is to make a logical, not an emotional decision. The thought that must be "ringing" in your ears constantly is; are you running toward an opportunity, or away from a series of concerns?
There are three things that you must remember about counter offers.
1. If you are that good, valuable, or needed after resignation, why were you not so before?
2. Even though the counter offer is tempting, you "may" be an "outcast", a stranger in a strange land.
3. If you do accept the counter offer, you are at the mercy of the "old" employer, and you "may" be replaced at the company's leisure, usually in three months from your original letter of resignation.
