Prep Cook/line cook-other

Better job offer,more money.... Or stay where i am?

I recently started a new job in my field which is cooking. Well a few week's ago a friend asked if I'd come in and help her out on my day's off because they needed another cook. I worked 1 day and management approaches me & offers me $4.00 more an hour to quit my job. I though about it & had decided that I was going to take it,I mean who could pass up an extra 4.00 an hour? So I gave my notice and explained why I was leaving hoping that they'd offer me more money. Well they didn't,so I gave my 2 week's notice. Now with 3 days left of my 2 week's my boss approached me and offered me $3.00 more an hour. So I've decided that I'm going to stay with them,I really like it where I am even though the new place was more money and 5 minutes from my home. Do you think I made the right choice & how do I tell the other place that I now can't take their offer?!? #adviceplease #foodservice #cook/eggflipper

Absolutely. I was an Insurance Agent at New York Life. One of the things that they stressed is....follow The Money. I am on my 6th new job within a year. I am on track to make over 100k now. My Dad was self employed all his life. His first rule of Busines was. Get THE MONEY. DO IT !!!

Also if $3 extra dollars an hour was so easy for your current place to offer you now, if they really valued you, why didn’t they give you a merit raise before?

Honestly the statistics show that counter offers usually don’t work out and the person eventually leaves within a year. Never be afraid of a new, unknown offer because it could be the change your life needs.
