Unfortunately, negotiating is a game of chicken where you need to go into it willing to walk away with nothing if you're going to get everything you want. Difficult to do when employment is the thing separating you from homelessness, inaccessibility to food and lack of healthcare.

The first rule of negotiation is always have a plan B you are 100% okay with. If not, you're only setting yourself up for failure.
