Ding Ding Ding.....Its nice to see someone who understands it.
Ahhh...so if for example the company wanted to modify transition, the NC could say "ok, well we would have to increase our ask because that is a concession"....Wow...I wonder if the NC thought of that angle...maybe Gunga isn't as smart as he claims to be.
If I am selling my house for $200,000 and the buyer says "ok, now you need to leave the furniture in the house," my selling price doesnt go down, it goes up. If they do not like the house price with the furniture added, then we will remove the furniture and we are back to the home price. Im setting the benchmark as the seller and we are adjusting off that price for any additions someone wants on the house, which raises the price.
Why would someone think the NC is going to come in at standard and then be prepared to drop off that number while giving into work rule demands from the company? That is, in essence, what people claim will happen when "meeting in the middle."
