Reverse Negotiation does not work!

Success is not something thats always straight ahead. sometimes you got to take an exit and diviate from your routine path. i have been on the same route all these days and couldn't see anything exciting ahead on my way. so thought of taking an exit..being optimistic that it will lead me to success going forward. i find it very apt to compare my career as being driving on a highway. if you are on a single lane road(small company),then changing lanes(projects) is not an option. so you plan to slow down and take an exit from that road..planning behind your mind that you'll be catching another highway(company) soon that will be bigger and broader where you can cruise through. and, fully aware that there might be a stop signal right after you get off the road. well, the opinion of the general public to whom i have spoken thinks this to be a brave/stupid plan. the plan they suggest is to catch a flyover that connects your road to a different highway you want to be on. well thats the ideal case and next to impossible for me :P. so here i am, all set with my stupid cum brave plan.
But suprisingly i am bribed by something to stick onto the same highway! now i am in a position where i might not reach my destination any faster but will gain something being on the same way(ofcourse it has to be the greenbacks!). and as the title of the topic suggests, i tried to be stupid-er by doing a reverse negotiation..yeah! negotiating not for the benefit..i think i was being JUST and honest :P. and yeah i failed the negotiation part miserably..which proves to be fantastic for me!
Allz well that ends well..hopefully.
