...without all the gives and a commensurate pay rate with full profit sharing. Who cares if we are in section 6 if the pay rate continues to track our peers? And with a much better profit sharing plan.
Water... bridge... but this is a lesson that needs to be told because we removed the only mechanism that would have back stopped our pay rates beyond the amendable date. This was a short sighted settlement for retro when the other employees would have stagnated as well to keep us from getting a raise. You don’t even know the value of what you had. The TVM crowd should have fought this tooth and nail.
