    Honestly, don’t really see a problem with a negotiation ending up like that, it might clear up the workload or getting specific vacation other accommodations through, making the compensation worth it.

      I went through a negotiation where they were very stingy on vacation time, and after several rounds of back and forth, they offered slightly higher pay, and tried to throw other minor benefits. I went somewhere else. 2 weeks starting is dumb. I typically take 4-5 a year and that feels small some days.

        Here in Sweden you have a legal right to take four weeks in a row during the summer months.

        Now there are some conditions.

        1. You have to have enough days earned.
        2. Your employer may direct you when to take the vacation during the summer months, but has to communicate that well in advance.

        You don’t have to exercise this right, but your employer can’t outright deny it.

        Typically people earn enough vacation time to take four weeks during summer, one week during christmas and a random week in the autum.

      I mean, if we negotiate WFH that’s some benefit worth money. Workload shouldnt matter if its full time i drop the pen after 40h. I think a person accepting a lowball offer will go on looking and you onboard for nothing.
