I assume if one is talented enough, then he or she holds the most power in any negotiation.

I, for one, am not talented at what I do, and have no power in any negotiation. I couldn't even negotiate salary, since I offer literally nothing no one else couldn't offer.

If the workplace mirrored the animal kingdom, I am more of the type of animal that feasts on carrion than hunts for fresh prey. Thus, I would never be able to swing such a deal.

However, I do hope those that can swing such a deal do so, so that it may systemically trickle down to us scavenger type.
