Yeah I mean, in 5 years are you going to want people to find this blog post where you're shitting on your former employer for valuing your presence at their company? Valuing it so much that they offered to double your salary?
Maybe they are skeezy jerks, I dunno. Those kinds of people do exist in the world, but it's pretty tacky flaming them in public.

Fuck no. Nice try. They didn't value his presence at their company. They valued the reversal of his decision to depart.
If they valued his presence they would have been paying him what they thought he was worth (or maybe even considered other factors that made them so different from the new gig in his mind).
