Who are you to say that? Is the invisible hand prescriptive now? What if I value fair treatment over marginal nominal compensation? What if I don't know how much to ask for when I'm looking for work because I'm so underpaid that my perception of the market is fucked?

Same way you work out how much your house is worth, you get two or more companies in a bidding war for your time.

What is "fair" treatment? Are different levels of negotiating abilities unfair?
