I'm going to guess that a very small portion of WFMs employees have the ability to successfully negotiate their employment terms

A very small portion of all employees have that ability, much less an opportunity to attempt to negotiate the terms of their employment. I think a lot of people here overestimate the leverage that the average employee - including tech industry employees - actually have with their employers.

Maybe it’s because those average employees are, well average? if you’re worth a damn in your field you most definitely can define the terms of your employment or find a company that will let you

But this thread is about those average employees, and even exceptional employees in most fields have little to no power to set terms.
