I knew it! They're after our precious fluids. Must be the commies.

I didn't do that to manipulate a bad boss into offering a raise (or anything else). At that point you could offer the moon and the stars and the shuttle in which to get there -- and I would not trust you to deliver any of it.< When you make a decision to leave, regardless of the conditions, and you announce that decision...you really have to leave. It's a rare situation where the counter offer is sincere and long term, or that the reasons convincing you to leave will change. In most cases, upper management will view you as no longer loyal to the cause and therefore replaceable. You can bet your bottom dollar that your replacement is close to the top of the hiring list. Besides, if the position was so good, you would have never looked for something else. Donna's right...walk out to the door, breath the fresh air, kick up your heels, and feel good about yourself again.
