re: Etiquette for turning down job after accepting?

Nicolai believes there are pros and cons to accepting a counteroffer, but she wouldn’t recommend it either. “If you have tried to resolve issues in the workplace; whether it’s more money, a new title, a better work schedule, or time off, and the situations was not resolved prior to putting in your two weeks’ notice, then the proposed counteroffer is being offered to benefit the employer.” If the employer were sincere, the proposed offer would have been made when you originally approached your boss with your concerns, she adds.
