Saw this guy tendered his resignation, then boss tried to counter offer him

he said its either promotion or he will leave because he already got another job offer

question is this:

1- I wonder how he did it. Did he signed contract with the other co, then current co counter offered him. Ok, let say if he decided to stay with the promotion offer, how does he escape with the new co if he had already signed contract?

new co can sue him in lieu of 2 months pay? in accordance to their notice period?

2- Or he could have told the new co offered him, to wait, let him decide, then he decided to tender resignation. Risky game, because its a game of who chicken first, he or the current employer.

but he knows what he is doing because he is now handling a lot of big projects and the current boss don't want to take the risk of losing him.

I used option 2 twice with the same employer. First time, they countered offer. Second time, they said bye bye

Sorry I meant the Grab Corporate workers that have been fired in KL, Singapore, Jakarta.

It's the market conditions, layoffs aren't usually the norm but lately it has been. It affected a lot of those in the tech companies (big ones like Meta, Microsoft, Google, Amazon) as well as companies such as Shopee, Grab, Carsome. I had a couple of friends and colleagues who got laid off but thankfully they found their feet again and got other roles. Industries which had a tough time trying to hire good talent managed to get these talented folks which helps them overall.
