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