maybe, i'm not saying employees shouldn't negotiate but there's a lot of ways it can backfire so you might be better of hopping to another company at that point, rather than waiting around to have the rug pulled out from underneath you

I agree, but it's still cheaper to counteroffer than to hire someone new if the demand is market price for that job. There's big overhead in replacing you.

Fundamentally the operative variable is: "can they get your job done for less than you're demanding." That's what matters, more than the impression of commitment.
