I had a thread about counter offers about 3 years ago. I'm glad I didn't take the counter offer then. It worked out well for me.

In that thread someone said something valuable. When asked "who do you work for," his answer is always "me". It's true, I work for a paycheck for me and my family. Who ever can provide the biggest paycheck and best working conditions gets me. The company doesn't work for me. It works for it's own bottom line. It wants the highest quality employees for the lowest salary that it can keep. That helps it's bottom line.

These days, there is no such thing as real loyalty in work. If it's good for the company to lay you off, then you'll get laid off. If I can improve my situation by leaving and working at a different job.....
