This.

I remember when a colleague resigned for another job and was asked by many people throughout their last two weeks where they were going, they responded in such a weird way by saying, “I’m keeping that information close to my heart.”

I guess it worked insofar as baffling people to the point there weren’t any follow up questions.

Anyway, it’s not like someone could sabotage your next job. And it’s not like everyone won’t find out. Once you update your LinkedIn or the office gossip finds out (because she will stalk you), everyone will know.

The savvy people I know have always shared their job offer. Some have used it as leverage for big promotions to stay. [/quote]

^Terrible advice. You never accept a counter offer. [/quote]

I know a handful of people who used an external job offer as leverage for big promotions. All of them are still happily employed (at a higher level) years later.

No clue what your experience is, or what kind of work you are in, but this seems fairly common in my sector.

Having said that, employers only ask if there’s anything they can do to make them stay when it’s a truly invaluable person…and as long as they don’t have a morale issue and haven’t checked out. I’m C-suite level with a big portfolio, and I’ve happily congratulated people on their new job without trying to persuade them to stay, but that’s for a select group of people who I know are burnt out and easily replaced.
