Handed notice in, not accepted

so I took the plunge to change jobs, having received a great offer of employment elsewhere. I had a meeting today and they refused (politely & professionally) to accept my resignation and instead want to have a chat next week..

I’ve never been in this situation before and wasn’t expecting this so... what should I expect?

I certainly won’t be fired I do a very niche type of work that’s hard to recruit for. I just wasn’t expecting a meeting next week or what they might have to say - really not sure what to do / day in the meeting yet!

Just to update the thread it was indeed a counter offer! A very good one with increased salary, promotion with responsibilities I wanted & a few other bits. All handled really well and never felt like they were up to anything. I was already well paid for my current role and had a very good annual salary increase + bonus so it wasn’t money.

All in a busy couple of days and the best possible result for me.

So I take it from that you're staying at the current place?

Indeed! Happy that I’ve made the right choice and feel more confident that should I want/decide to leave in the future it’s not that hard!
