    It’s sad how true this is. I quit my job and went to work for another company for a year. The previous company contacted me wanting me back, and hired be back after a year for $15k more than before. I’ve been there a year now and got a 3% raise. Probably should just quit again and get rehired

      Suddenly no more office-only or office-first policies, suddenly there is money to offer, suddenly there is possibility to have a better computer.

      Also suddenly HR system couldn’t work for a week, so signing a new counter-offer contract might not be possible at the moment. “Cancel your offer, you will sign in next week”.

      Interesting stuff :)

        That’s a shitty move 😅

        But really, sometimes someone from the top just wants everyone in the office so hard that no counter-offer can outweigh the desire to quit
