Estate Agents who hand in their notice:
When you consider a job outside your existing estate & letting agency company, it is a sign you are missing something.
It could be the ££££, the feeling you are not valued or appreciated, doing two people's jobs for no extra pay, being overlooked for promotion, promises not fulfilled, or a mismatch of values.
Whatever it is, there is a voice inside your head that says, 'What if?'
So when another agent offers you a job, that voice becomes a chorus.
When you break the news to your existing boss it can be a pick and mix bag of emotions of relief, guilt, fear, and excitement.
Yet what if your existing boss comes back with a counter offer? It can feel really good.
It validates the fact they do need you and love you.
I have been there, a £2k pay rise and promotion to Senior Valuer.
You are so needed and your boss is going to fight tooth and nail to keep you... by offering you something they should have before.
Just like that boyfriend/girlfriend who promises to change when you break up with them because of a bad partner?
It doesn't generally end well if you stay with them.
I read somewhere that just under 4 out of 5 people who accept a counter offer will result in leaving their job within 6 months.
You deserve a job you love, where the bosses love you and you love them.
A job that will give you a healthy, fulfilling vibrant awesome career.
Not every job you take on in your career will fulfill your needs.
If you choose to stay at your existing employer, check your motivation for doing so.
If your motivation is driven by guilt or fear, run for the hills and leave.
If your motivation is driven by hope, go with open eyes and be careful.
Yet if you stay for love, it could just, possibly work out.
Tell me, have you ever accepted a counteroffer and regretted it?
