A friend of mine quit, but reconsidered when they counter offered. One of his points was he was over worked and they needed help. He the following week interviewed a few people anch choose who they hired. He trained him for 2 weeks and then was laid off on a Friday. He new job and old job were gone. He hired and trained his replacement.

This is why you NEVER take counter offers. Mgmt will do this almost every time.

I only accepted ONE counter-offer, and that came with a guarantee of a minimum of three years' employment from the acceptance of the offer. And I left 18 months later anyway, because even though things improved for a while, they started to go downhill, fast, again. . .

I should have stayed. 6 months later, they closed, but the other two guys who ALSO accepted counter-offers got paid for an additional year, plus a year of bennies, at the time of shut-down. . . a contract, after all, was a contract. . .
