I wonder if "good negotiator" and "good engineer" is correlated or anti-correlated? I want good engineers, so I don't want to punish people for being bad negot

  More than once I've heard the sentiment from (independent) managers that people focused on salary and raises tend to be less than great as developer/engineers. Probably to some degree they were feeding me a line of BS (subtly suggesting that I not negotiate aggressively), but sometimes knowing the personnel in the departments there was probably some truth to it too.
