I can't think of anything good that would come out of using the job offer to try and strong arm the current company to give her a raise.



Yellowfin is right.

The current job obviously doesn't respect her as they haven't come through on the original promise. How do you think they are going to treat her once she basically threatens them with this deal? GTFO or shut her mouth and keep working.

man, you are strict! disagree though, at the minimum she should request a meeting with whoever offered her the promotion with accompanying pay raise to address the fact that she has been working in the position for two years and has not seen the increase in pay, shouldn't have let it go on this though because if she has any balls she should demand the back pay, sounds like a shitty company

She hasnt had any sway in the matter to convince them to give her the raise. If she's an important employee, and he can prove she is worth more with a better offer from another company, then she has sway in the argument. She has to be willing to walk though

I dont think she can lose in this scenario. Her company takes advantage of her. Either she gets paid more to deal with the same shite, or she leaves those losers and gets paid more elsewhere

The tricky part is this is not an ordinary offer. It's coming as a recommendation from a friend on behalf of her sister. So if they got to an agreeable offer and she slighted the sister it comes off looking a little as if "thanks for your time but I used you". Remember this employee also works there.

If it weren't for the personal connection this isn't that fuzzy. There are other factors that make keeping the current job ideal, but the disrespect is getting to her as well.

I think current owner would match. I'm more worried it looks as if she is using a personal connection and their time for a raise when in reality she is seriously considering and excited at the new job at the right price. I also think the owner could take it out on her family member if she doesn't give the opportunity to match at all as she's a tether to his job due to importance.
