Lying isn't a negotiation tactic or a loophole. It's lying.
A negotiation tactic: getting an actual job offer in hand for your salary + X, and then indicating to your manager that you have an offer for $S+X and that you would like to stay where you are if they could match.
Lying: not getting a job offer, but tell your manager you did.
Also lying: getting a job offer for $S, or $S+0.1X, but telling your manager you got an offer for $S+X.

There are negotiation tactics that are not lies, and lies that are not negotiation tactics, but just as surely, there are lies that are negotiation tactics. > Lying: not getting a job offer, but tell your manager you did. Sure, that's a lie. And if you tell your manager this as part of a stratagem to get a better compensation deal in your current job, its also a negotiation strategy. It may be an unethical negotiation strategy, but it is certainly a negotiation strategy.
- aggieben 11y agoFair enough. I guess my point was to be opposed to unethical negotiating strategies.
