Don't be mistaken that your boss or your young and sexy chiobu wife always has the bargaining power.
This is a mistake that human beings, especially sinkies living for years under pappy rule, commonly make.
Bargaining power not only depends on who is in a position of strength or power, or who needs who more, it also depends on relative mentality and circumstances.
Once, a forummer commented that he's not afraid of anyone, but only of insane people who may harm him.
This is of course logical, since he has no idea what the insane person can or would do.
But I reminded him that if he had a lifelong enemy who detested him and happened to be dying of an incurable disease without family members, he should probably be wary of this person too.
The forummer didn't reply to this...............................
In the employer-employee relationship, the boss may have the bargaining power. But if you strike $10 million toto by yourself this CNY (a change in circumstances), you may just see a shift in bargaining power, especially if 3 of your colleagues suddenly decide to quit at the same time. Of course, if your mentality is that you love your job, respect your boss dearly and won't desert him in his time of need, then no change.
