Boss gave counteroffer after I resign, should I accept?

I accepted a counteroffer once and regret until today. They matched my gaji but the trust already broken, boss slowly sidelined me and I was first on the retrench list next year. HR remembers you as the one who almost left. Also ask yourself, if you were worth this much, why they only pay you now after you threaten to leave? Usually people resign not just for money, got other reasons like no growth, bad management. The extra RM1000 doesnt fix those. My honest advice, if you already decided to go, go. Counteroffer is just them buying time to find your replacement. Statistically most people who accept counteroffer leave within a year anyway.
