I think that u have done a right of accepting old company hike,because as i think what the rapo u have made in ur company that is much more important to u, either u will join a new company that will take a time to settle u there & if ur not properly settled than u will realise. This is a right decision u have taken to stay in the old company just think twice again because for money u r thinking that u r getting now also in same company & ur familiar with working style of all of them
It is common practise that companies won't give the same respect to the employees who have put down the papers in the past...
Even if they try to convince you with bigger pay hike, gracefully decline it, don't argue and just quit the place with all the respect. In future, you might want to contact them for references.
Never continue in the same company once you put down the papers...This is the golden rule...talk to your trusted seniors (not in the same project ;-) obviously ) and they too will tell you the same thing...

I have always felt that once you have put down your papers it should stay put. Now your company may do anything to keep you but their attitude will change in some days....

Subrat, Analyse this difference, Both Company Profiles, Future aspects , Ur Job Profile.
And still i would suggest you, if u have resigned and if the present company retains you, sometimes u will feel dominate by ur managers. anyways Chance pe dance baby

Yes I too agree. Once you have resigned its difficult to get the same respect later on as your company may have some short term requirements where you may be crutial but once that is done you will see the difference and further during next appraisals you would not get any loyalty benefits. Hence Its always better to stick to resignation.

Am in complete agreement too!!! once u have put down the papers...let them stay put..the Company accepts the hike u asked for only till the time they get a new employee to replace you at your old pay scale...and when they get that...they create circumstances to ensure that they dun fire u; but U QUIT...so think twice before accepting the raise and hike in old Company...

I fully disagree with this sentimental decision. Everybody is doing their business, but in Indian corporate imotions are sometimes heavy on profession.Putting down papers is a crime.You are a free sould and you have all rights to take an independent decision.Your decision should be justifiable.When you are putting down your papers , you are most likely resigning due to certain miseries which you think , can be resolved in new employment. Discuss all those things with your current employer, if they address your problems and give you a better terms of employment, and it is accepted you , then there is no harm in taking the resignation back. All decisions should be healthy professional decisions and emotion should not control the decision making process. I have always given priority to my existing organization and I am happily working in my company 1.5 years after putting down the papers.

Some how I am not fully agree with you. I have a situation when I got a offer from some B co and resigned from my current co. Then suddenly my Big Boss appeared in the picture and he given me more hike than what my new employer was offering.. as i was working in this co. from last 2 year and they hiked my salary more than B so.. i decided to recalled my resignation.. everything gone fine for 1 year but somehow i know that they take my resignation thing very seriously and it affected me in getting envolved with new project and salary hike... and loyality too. so I must say ones you put the paper don't look back.... because days are never going to be same. It's a professional life ... and you'r co. is employing you because you'r generating profit for co.. not due to some emotional thing..
