This isn't correct.

When I say you're worth $X, I mean: "you're worth $X to me".

If you get a job offer elsewhere for $Y, you're still worth $X to me.

Even more pedantically: it's more like "you're worth at least $X to me" where there is some unknown maximum $X+delta that $Y may or may not be within.
