I'm just saying that statement "everything is a negotiation" is not true. Because if you refuse to participate in any bargaining then there's no negotiation. Just a statement (from one side) and decision (from the other).
I see you are mostly opposed to the word dictate because you understand it as employee dictating what company will do. And he's obviously not capable of that.
The word dictate used by OP was about dictating the terms of decision they have to make, not dictating what the decision should be.
