Not that anyone needed proof I'm a dick, but I don't believe in counter offers. At that point, communication has broken down enough that something has already changed in the employee's attitude toward the job. You might buy another year, but I've seen enough data to know it's a sign things won't last. It's never just money and, from my experience, is indicative of a mismatch on both sides.

I'm kinda in this boat too as an employer.  I lost an employee 2 years ago to another company that offered them like double their salary.  I didn't bother to counter offer because I knew we couldn't match it but even if we could I knew that employee would be on borrowed time.  Teamwork makes the dream work and it would be hard for me to trust someone on my team knowing that they had been actively interviewing with someone else.  At that point it makes more sense to start the search for a replacement and put your time energy and money into that person

The irony is that they left that job after like 3 months. Like I said before, grass is not always greener
