This is true. BATNA stands for Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement and MLATNA stands for Most Likely Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement. It refers to the best option or course of action a person can take if negotiations fail to result in a satisfactory agreement. In this case, the best alternative is to walk away and find another job.
