I tried to picture the best way to let freshers grasp the all-mighty benefits from mastering bargainig and negotiation techniques… and that strip came out. As the title suggests, in this one Effy goes through take-it-or-leave-it (tioli), faking and affect effect to get her wishes.

Joke aside, bargaining is a must have knowledge for anyone, so I often introduce Changing Minds’s page on negotiation tactics to newly hired collaborators. I have been doing that for decades now, and it really helped boost the team ability to weight on company decisions. It also help defuse blatant attempt from other stakeholders at leading the negotiation. Drawbacks of course, is that it does complexify yearly appraisal and salary increase discussions, but isn’t that for the best?

Constructive comments welcome.
