Pulling a job offer because of salary negations would land a FLSA lawsuit faster than you could blink for every org I've worked at.

This makes very little sense to me. What exactly would be the grounds for the lawsuit? I don't know about other professions, i'm asking about programming jobs because i've never heard anything like this.

It isn't necessarily unheard of - but you basically have to ask for ridiculous things for it to happen, it's extremely uncommon. If you're asking for 2.5-5% more salary the worst they will do is say the initial offer is final. If you ask for 25% higher salary, 100% more stock options, a company car, subsidized living, and relocation assistance - sure, anyone with a brain will tell you to go pound sand because you're not only not in the same ballpark but you're likely going to be a huge pain in the ass to employ.

I'm trying to be realistic here.

I understand that, i am confused about the 'pulling the job offer'. You mean from the guy or off the market? Because it's pretty commonplace that if a guy for a 60-80 offer asks for 80 without having the skills to warrant it, he's not getting the job. Doesn't mean the offer gets pulled from the market though, just that the guy isn't getting it.
