I'm director of engineering (50+ employees)

I'm given a budget and that's my absolute ceiling. If there's a high anchoring I just pass because there's nothing I can do - the budget is the budget.

This works in reverse too. As a candidate, I have bills to pay. If there's low anchoring (people often lowball me, "negotiable") below a certain level, I just pass because I at least have a shot at paying the bills freelancing.
