Your refusal to yield worked to your benefit, but now you need to put out feelers for a compromise. You’ve never been closer to finding a fit.

This is not the time to be accommodating. Any concession on your part will only invite attack. Stand firm and the other side backs down.

Work with the system in place. Though not long for this world, it’s there long enough to make life difficult at work if you don’t.

Don’t let your impatience lead you to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Adopt a free range policy and it will produce time and time again.

You’re smarting from recent altercations so wait to assess things. You’re still walking away with more than what you came in with.

You have to sacrifice to protect your interests, but don’t go with the obvious choice. Dig around and you’ll find something you can live without.
