Imagine this:
You get an amazing job offer. The kind that makes your phone buzz and your pulse pick up. Better pay. New challenge. Different city. More growth.
Before jumping to “yes” or “no,” take a beat.
Would you fight to stay in your current role?
Turning Netflix's Question Around
Netflix popularized something called the Keeper Test:
“If one of your team members were thinking of leaving, would you fight to keep them?”
It’s a bold management approach. But it’s also top-down, focused on retention, not reflection.
At Keepliv, we asked:
What if we flipped that question — and gave the power to you?
Introducing: The Reverse Keeper Test
The Reverse Keeper Test is a monthly (or quarterly, or twice-yearly) check-in where you pause and ask yourself:
“If I got a very attractive job offer today, how hard would I fight to stay?”
It’s not about loyalty for loyalty’s sake. It’s about clarity.
Are you truly engaged? Do you feel aligned with your work — or just comfortable?
Is your job worth keeping?
Five Ways to Answer
Each time you take the Reverse Keeper Test, you pick from five simple options:
I’d fight hard to stay
I’d prefer to stay, but I wouldn’t fight for it
It would depend on the offer
I’d probably take it
I’m already looking elsewhere
No right or wrong. Just honesty.
Then, you choose a few reasons why. Both positive and negative:
“I’m growing and learning”
“The culture is misaligned with my values”
“I feel fairly compensated”
“I’m feeling burned out”
…and more.
You can also write a private journal reflection, just for yourself.
Patterns That Speak Louder Than Moments
What makes the Reverse Keeper Test powerful isn’t the one-time answer.
It’s the pattern.
Keepliv quietly tracks your responses over time and offers private nudges when it spots something meaningful:
Consistently choosing “I’d probably take it”? Time to explore why.
Suddenly going from “fight to stay” to “I’m looking elsewhere”? Something’s changed.
Fluctuating back and forth every few months? That uncertainty may be telling you something.
It’s reflection, not reaction.
From Feeling Stuck to Seeing Clearly
We created the Reverse Keeper Test because we know what it’s like to feel stuck, unsure, or quietly misaligned with your job.
This tool doesn’t tell you to quit.
It helps you notice when your commitment is drifting… before burnout, resentment, or missed opportunities creep in.
Combined with your Pulse Check results and benchmarks, it paints a full picture of your relationship with work — all private, all for you.
Why It’s Worth Asking
When companies run retention surveys or performance reviews, they’re trying to make sense of what’s happening.
The Reverse Keeper Test helps you do the same — for yourself.
Because staying in a job should be a choice, not a habit.
And sometimes, the simple act of asking the right question can shift everything.
