How do you polietly say no to a company that wants you to stay?

[Anonymous]

I'm not very happy in my job and I have found myself a new one.

I'm working my 3 weeks notice.

Our CEO asked me if I would like to stay and get paid a bit more than I currently get here but less in my new job.

I'm leaving cause I'm tired of doing their cover when their own receptionists can't even do their own job.

In my new job I won't have to do this.

Should I just something like

"Thank you for the opportunity but I am declining the offer. All the best"

Does that sound ok?

They wanted me to stay and help for their reception cover er.
I asked them six months a go for a pay rise for this reason and they said no to me.
Now I'm leaving they treat me differently.
They can find someone else

Never agree to stay if the employer counters. Your mind is already out the door and your employer doesn't respect you if they only offer a raise when you threaten to leave.

Exactly. I would love to be a fly on the wall and see what they're going to do instead. I was shocked that they had the guts to ask me.

That's fine. Tell them whatever you want. Just say "thanks, but I've decided."

[AI Opinion]

Your response is polite and direct. A suggestion for slight elaboration could be: "Thank you for the offer and the opportunity. While I've appreciated my time here, I have decided to pursue the new role as it aligns better with my career goals. I wish the company continued success." This expresses gratitude while clearly communicating your decision.

That sounds like a good answer. You are leaving on good terms.

Sounds fine, you owe it to yourself to find a job you like
