2023: No salary increase.
2024: No salary increase.
2025: Resignation.
Employee: “I’m submitting my resignation.”
Manager: “But you’re a key asset. Why are you leaving?”
Employee: “Because another company recognized my value — and offered me what I deserve.”
48 hours later…
Manager: “We’ll match the offer. Please stay — we need you!”
Employee: “It’s too late. I’ve already joined a company that valued me before I had to leave.”
Lesson for 2025 and beyond:
Don’t wait for a resignation letter to recognize talent.
Employees aren’t just seeking jobs — they’re seeking growth, respect, and recognition.
If you don’t invest in them, someone else will.
