If your freeze expires Jan 1st and there's not an AE until April, you're effectively frozen that extra 3 months. Or if said April AE doesn't backfill that category you want, it could be a 6 or 9 month extension waiting for an AE that posts or backfills the category you're trying to move to. The greater the interval between AEs, the more the company saves on training. And as far as I know, the 2-year new hire freeze we just gave them in the last contract is already the most restrictive in the industry.
