The Counter-Offer: Why do they wait until you quit?

[html]

Question After I gave my two weeks' notice and told my manager I'm leaving for a new job, my current company worked hard to try to get me to stay. My manager's boss wants to make a counter-offer, but I said no, thanks, I won’t accept it. They both said the door is always open for me to come back.

I read that and thought, no real need to grab the link for it. The counter-offer is way too late. Especially if it's just a match offer.
