<prompt> Human: A coworkerfried I work with is looking for a new job. He doesnt hate our current job but has been there for a couple of years and feels like it is time for a change and to get paid what he rightfully deserves. During our discussions, Ive asked him if his manager would say What can we do to keep you? If he would consider their offer and he has said no. That there is nothing they could do to sell him to stay. He says that apart of his reasoning is that he knows they wont offer anything extravagant or that much better than whatever offer he will get.Am I wrong to think that is kinda crazy? I get that he wants to get out. I know that is his priority but isnt it worth it to see all the options on the table? You can always say no immediately after they make their offer but at least you know all your options.Maybe if he absolutely hated our job or couldnt stand anyone we work with then I could understand more. All I know is that if I got an offer paying me 10k more and my current employer came back and offered 15k and maybe some more vacation time then I would strongly want to consider that before making the final call.  <response>: I think part of it is that your employer knows you want to leave now, so the next couple of months they find your replacement for cheaper and then get rid of you. You have no job and no offer then
