Suppose they did match it, you stayed, and then everything fell apart. Or worse, they resented your ultimatum and fired you the moment they had a replacement. I would just always take the new offer.
They can set their own penalties, but the most common penalty for the business would be paying the full term of agreed employment (so probably 1-2 years) even if they want to fire you early. The most common one for the employee would be repaying any signing bonus and/or all or part of the salary for the full term of the contract.
You can enforce upon any legal and valid contract, but that’s obviously in a perfect world- many people can’t make the choice to take time off of whatever other job they might have found and pay an attorney/stay organized enough to find someone pro bono.
However, if you’re working with a company large enough to have a legal department larger than one overwhelmed lawyer, the contract will likely have a chilling effect on them fucking you over (which is imo the ideal situation for the type of company you need to do this with, they’ll be on their best behavior)
Again, youre acting like laws are magic spells, and the best use for the paper they’re written on, the most utility it can provide me, is not to wipe my ass with.
I specifically said that they don’t help you if you don’t have the resources to pursue them, outside of a chilling effect. I expect a little more from my magic spells.
Even when it’s not: pretending successful lawsuits against governments, major companies, & the wealthy don’t exist in significant numbers is denialism.
The US is known as one of the most litigious countries.
Absolutely. The compunction of individuals within the systems we criticize is our protection against the system we criticize. If not for the US justice system Trump would be Kapital K King. But that self sustaining system is actively under attack and weakens by the day.

Never accept a counteroffer, they’re just going to use it to buy time to find your replacement.
Just make an employment contract part of your counteroffer
Contracts only protect you from the honorable, or those you can enforce upon.
If they’re honorable, you don’t need a contract. If you can enforce upon them, its only utility is to gaslight their peers.

In ages past maybe. Sorry, dismissed after first part, too sick of lib shit.
Nah, laws & contracts do get enforced. It’s happened many times before.
When the power differential is close, sure.
But we dont live in a society like you’re thinking of anymore, if we ever did

Now? No. Not so much.
