Leaving so soon?

Have you ever accepted a job that you thought was great and told your current boss your leaving and out of now where he says he will raise your salary by 5,000 if you stay and all of the sudden you turn around and tell the other guys "hey i like the job and all but I think I am going to stay with this company "Thanks but no thanks. While it may seem like a win initially at the end of the day it may be a loss for you.

Before you turn around and say hey I'm not leaving show me the money, just ask yourself a couple of really easy questions.

1) Why was I looking in the first place? If it is money and nothing else than perhaps you have achieved your goal. But if there are underlying issues with the company then perhaps those need to be addressed as well and as a caveat to your staying you should ask your boss to address those issues asap.

2) Is the additional money going to make me happy? Again if money is the only motivation then the answer is yes but for a majority of people there are other issue that normally push people to look for another job. Will those issues remain after I accept this counter offer. Is the boss serious about addressing the concerns is a question that really needs to be hammer upon as a condition of you staying with this company at a higher price.

3) Where did the money for this new raise come from? Why didn't i receive it before? Why now do they have this money when they did not have it before when you asked for more money?

4) If I stay am I going to be considered disloyal because I tried to leave? That is a hard question to answer the odds say that most people who accept a counter offer are gone within six months because either the employer went searching for a so called more loyal person at a cheaper price or the person left because none of the issues which made you consider leaving have been resolved.

In the end before you make a decision to leave a company make sure you are at the point of no return all questions in head have been answered before you decide to hand in your letter of resignation and that you leave with your head held high and resign in a manner that is consistent with your personality and integrity.

Ehe, hey beavis he said laid off. eh he he he

As the unemployment rate continues to rise currently at 11.1 million unemployed. It is starting to feel like no sector is safe anymore it seems like almost all sectors are losing revenue and people due to trickle along economics where major companies who rule the markets can't get credit and since they can't get credit they can't make payroll or pay for services they normally pay smaller companies to do and they cut jobs and in turn the company they once relied on to get services and supplies can no longer sustain because the big company who can't get a loan can't pay for the service they used to pay for and that smaller companies revenue goes into the tank and so the cycle continues on down the line.

This is a bleak time in our countries economic history but the facts remain that not all sectors are doing so bad. The lawyers always do well in times like these because people are more often than needing their services for a multitude of things. The health sector seems to be doing well for now but I am not sure how long that will continue as long as people continue to lose their jobs and along with their jobs goes their health coverage and that was very expensive in the first place for either them or their employer. When one does not have insurance they go to hospitals with no coverage and the hospital gives them services that they cannot pay for and the state has to reimburse the hospital at a rate that is not even close to what is billed for instance. I was told by one director at a hospital one day that his hospital billed 2.4 million to state of New Jersey for hard care for the uninsured they only received a couple hundred thousand dollars in return. I am not sure how long this is supposed to continue or how it will end but it will not be pretty.
