Either principles matter, or they don't. If they don't matter to you, then stop complaining about the company pushing the limits of the CBA. Be consistent.
That's nonsense. I could have a high degree of personal integrity (and I do) and still lose out badly because the other much larger party is cheating (and they are). It's not a matter of upholding principles so much as executing successful game theory. In this scenario, it pays to change the pattern of our individual behavior since the other party has already cheated, repeatedly. It's not violating any principles to point that out and encourage it.
