Can't have the devils just walk away with paying a marginally better package or the same one for retention vs no retention and set a poor standard. Eating 3 mil (potentially) for 2 more years has to carry value.

When you're in the driver's seat you don't cave. You wait for the other party to cave, because they want what you've got.
On the flip side, screwing someone over when they're desperate is an easy way to get blacklisted. Tables will turn one day.

It's just about finding balance.
