conversation: User (cloud3648): "hello all...\n\nI work in the I.T field for a M.S.P (Managed Service Provider)\n\nI recently accepted a position with another company I currently make 50k at my current position. my new position wants to offer me 75k. I have my employer notice the other day, and he recently asked if it's possible to counter the offer. I am meeting with my boss on thursday. to discuss.\n\ni really love my current job. The people,the work and all. I hear a lot on Reddit these situations are never good, because they will start looking for your replacement soon after because it puts a bad taste in both employee and employers mouth.\n\nI would like to know from people with "Experience" on how situations like this have worked out for you.\n\nthanks all\n\n\nUpdate1: had a meeting with my boss today. he offered me 100k if I stayed.WOW!! i brought up the point of these kind of situations dobt seem to go well bc it puts a bad taste in peoples mouth. he said that woubt happen.\n\nhe brought up the point of not wanting to spend money to  find someone,training them, and see if they are a culture fit. it would be cheaper to keep me. I stated I love working there but \n\nI asked of I could get a employment guarantee for a year or something like that. they did not want to out it in writing. that was a bit concerning to me. stated I would think about it.\n\nThis is a pretty big decision. freaking crazy. I have till the end of the week to think about it."
