Yeah, ultimatums kinda suck as a negotiation tool for employees. High risk, low reward most of the time.
I would replace it with explaining that the pay cut makes you unhappy and/or makes the position less appealing. Make it an assessment of the position and the pay, but don't talk about actions that will come from it (like leaving or job searching). Telling them what you'll do is like obviously telegraphing your next move in a fight.
- Silhouette 5y agoNegotiation is a tricky thing. You don't want to limit your options too early because that might prevent good outcomes. But at some point, if the other guy is being silly and you know you have viable alternative roles as your BATNA, cutting to the chase just saves everyone time and makes sure they understand that something is a deal-breaker.
