But didn't you also say that the previous offer was the best you were gonna get and you wanted to accept that deal as well? The BOD stood their ground and got you some improvements. Do you really think they were being hardliners? The argument I hear from some yes voters was the BOD was too greedy. Do you agree? Because if that really is the prevailing opinion, maybe we need to define what a "hardliner" is these days. Maybe I'm alone here, but you do have to draw a line somewhere. I think When PBS gets implemented and you find yourself working tirelessly to make only slight improvements in pay, you'll maybe rethink your strategy. I hope that's not true. I hope that you can comfortably get 15-16 days off a month and make 80+ hours pay, but in the case that you end up working 19-20 days for pay in the 70-75 hour range (see my previous examples), you may find yourself bidding reserve for some pay and QOL relief, because you'll have no work rules to protect you, and you'll be relying on the good faith of the company to give you days off as a lineholder that they're not obligated to give. It need not be that way.
