The BATNA acronym helps people understand negotiating a bit better, but outside of education, I don't see that it has much use.

- lwhi 2y agoI would have thought the concept of 'leverage' is more useful.
- pdimitar 2y agoI'll do you one even better: "Never land in a situation where you just got fired and have to find a job quickly. Easy, right?". That's what 99.9% of all negotiation advice I ever saw boils down to. Basically beat the game before it beats you. Really cute... until you remember most people don't live to "play the negotiation game". They want a stable paycheck and to raise their family. But who's asking, right.
- lwhi 2y agoIt boils down to being able to walk away .. but you're totally right, most people are never able to be in that position. It's a luxury for most.
- pdimitar 2y agoTrue, and thanks for acknowledging it. I admit I am really tired of cookie-cutter advice lately and sometimes get triggered and call it out in less than a productive tone. Thanks for not reacting to it. :)
