Ever been offered a job, only to have your current employer come up with a counteroffer out of the blue? You’re not alone. As nice as it is to be in demand, being at the centre of a counter-offer situation is a pretty stressful thing. You have different loyalties to different parties, and everyone involved in the process will have different aims and objectives during that process. None of those objectives are really focussed on what is best for you (other than your own, of course). http://www.mployability.net/is-it-true-that-if-i-take-the-counter-offer-the-world-is-going-to-end/
