Counter Rejected Recovery Script

You countered, they came back with sorry, the salary is fixed, and now you need a next move that isn't a sulk. Give their response, your original ask and their standing offer. You get scripts for three plays: one more push on a smaller salary increment framed as compromise, a pivot to signing bonus or leave, and a graceful close.

I made a counter-offer during salary negotiation and they've come back saying they can't move on salary. Their position is {THEIR_RESPONSE}. My original ask was {YOUR_ASK} and their offer stands at {THEIR_OFFER}.

Generate scripts for three scenarios:
1. Pushing back one more time on salary with a smaller increment, framed as a compromise
2. Shifting to non-salary items (signing bonus, extra leave, earlier review date) when cash is genuinely off the table
3. Gracefully walking away if the gap is too large, leaving the relationship intact in case they come back

For each script, note the tone to use and flag any phrases to avoid.
