Operational difficulty is very subjective.
It isn't just the subjectivity of the phrase that is the problem, it is management's bad faith interpretation. We metered while zero time lines were in our bid packet and reserves weren't flying. RW said in public that we will always meter. How could he know that we would
always have operational difficulty? He couldn't. But he knows that management will always
interpret whatever realities occur as such. That is not the same as subjectivity. That is a dishonest practice, cut and dry.
