stressed at work due to my teammember not pulling his weight and having to do his share of the work.

I have brought this up to my boss for several months and nothing has been done. I told my boss I currently had a new offer come to me and I would most likely be accepting it. My boss then came back and asked to wait so he could see what he could do because he wants me to stay. Now, I already accepted the position because I did not think anything was going to be done. So ... What would you do if the current job you were at came back with the same amount the new company is offering? Would you move on or stay? I have mixed feelings about it. Any help or ideas would be great!

More info/Update: The old company is trying to keep me by creating a new job/position for me - basically a promotion. They said they wanted to find me something prior to me telling them I had the offer.

My concerns are 1. There would possibly be no raises in the years to come[because of this]. 2. My reputation would go down because I said I had another offer. 3. I don't know the growth.

    Move on. You've got no guarantees that they will come through with anything. It's an excuse to string you along on vague/false promises. Then you'll be stuck in a job you don't like and will have wasted a good opportunity to advance your career. If they really wanted to treat you better and give you a raise at your current job, they would have by now. I've seen plenty of people on this board accept a counteroffer and regret it. Put yourself first, not the company.

    I agree with Kat. Move on. They have no interest in putting him on a PIP or making him do his job, so unless they double the new offer and you feel you can do your work and his for the rest of your time there, don't even consider it.

    I would move on. No one cares to improve the situation. They just don't want the inconvenience

    So your boss sat on these complaints for months and is now NOT taking action, but instead making an empty promise to see what he could do? Please listen to the message that's being delivered: your boss plans to do nothing to change this situation. Take the other offer and end your suffering.

    I don't waste time. It a valuable resource. I don't put my joy in the hands of someone who clearly could care less unless it impacts him. Life is too short to hang on for dear life to something that most likely won't turn out for you.

    The old company is going to string you along just long enough to replace you or absorb your duties, then fire you. Do not take a counter.
