Ah rumors and speculation -- gotta love it. Well, you also better add that your CEO said that things need to change or they will start deferring deliveries. Don't shoot the messenger it was said a couple of weeks ago when talking about mergers. As far as making big money and "willing" to work for it -- I, for one, work to live. Not live to work.
