Agon Arena — a negotiation and tough-conversation trainer
A New Role — Without New Money
Negotiation duel: Employee ↔ Manager. You've been asked to run vendor negotiations and mentor two juniors — effectively a senior specialist role. The salary stays as is: 'budget is frozen, we'll revisit later.' The extra work is already trickling in.
Roles in the duel:
Side A: Employee — goal: Take the new role only with revised terms — or politely decline.
Side B: Manager — goal: Fill the team gap with these tasks without touching the budget or opening a salary review for everyone.
