How even after knowing everything about your work, a series of emotional judgments can place you in a difficult situation.
A thread on how loss Aversion causes us to take irrational decisions-
On the first day of class, Professor Bazerman announces a game that seems innocuous enough. Waving a twenty-dollar bill in the air, he offers it up for auction.
The winner of the auction, of course, wins the bill. But the runner-up must still honor his or her bid,
In other words,this is a situation where second best finishes last. Indeed, at the beginning of the auction, as people sniff out an opportunity to get a $20 bill for a bargain, the hands quickly shoot up, and the auction is officially under way
There is a collective hard swallow. As if sensing the floodwaters rising, the students get jittery.
Without realizing it, the two students with the highest bids get locked in. "One bidder has bid $16 and the other has bid $ 17," Bazerman said.
Up to this point the students were looking to make a quick dollar; now neither one wants to be the sucker who paid good money for nothing.
Like a runaway train, the auction continues, with the bidding going up past $ 18, $19, and $20.
"Of course," reflected Bazerman, "the rest of the group roars with laughter when the bidding goes over $20."
But that's easier said than done. Students are pulled by both the momentum of the auction and the looming loss
The two forces, in turn, feed off each other: commitment to a chosen path inspires additional bids, driving the price up, making the potential loss loom even larger.
Over the years that Bazerman has conducted the experiment, he has never lost a penny (he donates all proceeds to charity).
This example was from the book, Sway.
When you Buy something at 100 , it goes to 110 and you didn’t sell, when it comes back to 105 you cant sell,and then you sell it way lower. because you felt again it will go up.
Traders feel loss 2X the emotions we feel when we are in profits.
How to avoid loss aversion bias-
1. Think of long term instead of short term results.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.
Listen to Aditya
And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

"we don't negotiate salaries" really means "we'd prefer to negotiate massive signing bonuses and equity grants, but we'll negotiate salary if you REALLY insist" https://t.co/80k7nWAMoK
