I don't think I can ever reconcile the damage that has been done between myself and Atlas so I will be leaving when the opportunity arrives.
I am sincerely sorry that you feel that way. I do know what it feels like to be under-appreciated as was the case in a previous career. There however, I was not just a seniority number under a CBA. Perhaps that is how I can reconcile the current contract struggle. I am happy in life, not particularly with the state of things at Atlas though. As I have stated before, I too will be leaving if/when I reach that pre-determined point of diminishing returns, otherwise I'll stay. Good luck.
