I gotta say, at times reading this thread my head is spinning. I honestly have no clue who works for who anymore. It seems like both sides are bickering about the same things in opposing manners. From someone that understands compromise (for a good cause) and is not afraid of change thus not caring if my job exists when this all blows over, I think we are totally screwed.
Not just from the vibes you get from the forum regulars but from what I hear around the line, we are going in the wrong direction. We took management's bait and they are stoked Im sure.
