We don’t negotiate based on what the rest of the world experiences, we negotiate based on what we feel and prove we are worth. I for one believe we are worth more than the leaked rates would suggest we are. Feel free to settle for less though. My vote is a solid no unless the rest of the contract is not only an absolute home run but an absolute bomb out of the ballpark with bases loaded. (Which it won’t be…)
