Definition
The delicate corporate dance of pretending you have other options while trying to extract maximum value from someone else doing the exact same thing. It's the art of compromise where both parties walk away feeling slightly disappointed but legally committed. Involves poker faces, strategic concessions, and the phrase 'let me take this back to my team' when you've hit a wall.
Example Usage
After three months of negotiating, they finally agreed on a salary that was $2,000 more than the original offer and everyone acted like they'd brokered world peace.
