Negotiation isn't extortion. No prospective employer is being extorted. There are no consequences for failing to agree.

Exactly why I said... "I'd say good luck and enjoy working for Zuck!"

That part is fine, but you are also whining about the negotiation process and calling it extortion. You are also implying thay the prospective employee is doing something untoward, which they are not.

"waste their time, drag my feet, and use their offers to increase my salary offerings at other companies"

Yes, they are. The person is wasting Meta's time in order to increase their salary offerings at other companies. That's gross and that's what I'm reacting to.
