Is/was there room for improvement? Hell yes.
Is our contract godawful? Not by a long shot. I'm not even a sunny optimist, yet I can smell the roses and enjoy many of the things we have. Bitter and pessimistic is no way to go through life.
Got it. Have expectations similar to what you had when you were hired... and you are bitter and pessimistic.
We are a little more than 32% BELOW the buying power most of us expected when we got into this career. That's pretty awful in my book.
