The game has been re-rigged in our favor, now do something about it!




That's a nice sentiment. But you guys should be leading the pack, past compensation plus $1, at least. But every pay package sapa comes up with falls WAY short. So why would you expect anything different this time? Hopefully you are right.
The only thing happing in that meeting is figuring out more ways to give money to people who don’t work here yet. It’s sapa’s new m.o..
