Reply to comment by Fair_Charity_5368 in Job offer and counter-offer by peptalks93

They didn’t even match the counter offer. They stayed 1000 short purposely. No way I’d want to stay with that company. If $1000 is make or break for them, then I wouldn’t expect any raises anytime soon or for them to replace them first chance they get

Yeah ,it's odd to come short by 1 grand at that point. It's almost as if they were intentionally saying, "we won't match it."

I'm not saying it's right, but it's just business.

I don't actually know the statistics, but I would imagine 80% of people just take their 2 percent raise (really not a raise anyway when you account for inflation) and just keep working, it's only the 20 percent that leave, so mathematically it makes more sense to just rehire and retrain the small(er) percentage of people that leave.
