I don't doubt that it takes some significant programming to get this done. But I also don't doubt that, had it been a change that benefited management and not us, it would have been done within a week.
Yeah I don't buy that for a second and never will.
Even
if that was a legitimate reason, which its not, then once they have the super complex launch codes to make it happen, they could easily apply it retroactively. So worst case the only delay we would ever "need" to take would be a delay for live implementation followed by full back pay.
OR, delay it all, including the parts that benefit the company, until they can write their code.
But instead they get what they want instantly, while we wait for our end of the deal for months, with zero retro pay.
