Do you really think they'd try to drive you out after giving you a raise to stay?
I think most of these companies as a whole are pretty evil, but your middle-managment boss or random HR rep is probably happy that you got more money out of the deal. They're a cog in the machine just like you.
No way. You might walk through the door at the other company, realise it's a horrible place to work, and hand in your resignation at lunch time.
Take the pay rise. If they fire you a month later, you'll at least get a big severance package to cover your living expenses while you look for a new job. If you quit, then quit again, you're going to be delivering pizza's or something while you look for a decent paying job.
it’s consdierably easier to find a job when you have a job.
Don't knock delivering pizzas.
