    Please don't be condescending. I obviously know that corporations are not made of aliens. Corporations are not made of a group of people, which is precisely my point. With a corporation or conglomeration, the dynamics of negotiation usually becomes very different from what it is when you negotiate with a single consenting adult. I did not elaborate this further and I am still not elaborating a lot here because these things were obvious. For example, imagine negotiating a job offer with a single person client vs. negotiating a job offer with a large company. I think it is obvious that the negotiation dynamics are very different in both cases. Depending on the situation, it may be easy to walk away from the first job but not so from the second job. Things like a large company would pay for my health insurance, would offer more job security, would offer me internal transfer, etc. make it a little more difficult to walk away from it. The fact that jobs in large corporations may appear lucrative to many people also puts the corporations in a position of more power where they can afford to negotiate unfairly with some people and still remain in business.
