Counteroffer
Neutral Neutral
What it really means
When your current employer offers you better pay or terms to stay, after you've said you're leaving. It can be flattering, but think about why you wanted to leave — the original reasons often remain.
Chinese explanation
挽留报价（counteroffer）：你表明要离职后，现雇主为留住你而提出的更高薪资或更好条件。它听着让人受用，但要想清你当初为何想走——原来的原因往往依旧存在。
