It's not like they share the wealth when we have burgeoning bottom line (and we currently do, $400+ million profit last qtr)! So now, they want to slash mine?
Before this happens they NEED to redistribute the carry-over as a minimum.
They can't furlough and fill the FDA with a newhire at the same time. Sounds to me we're in the driver seat. Sounds to me we should DEMAND a better LOA!
It seems that the easiest and most logical solution to your FDA problem is with the over 60 guys coming back to the front seats and displacing junior existing front seaters, for the company to displace to the foreign domiciles. The company wouldn't need to hire in that case as the FDA's would be filled with displacees.
