People are going to adjust their schedules and pay as they see fit. It’s not my place to tell them that they’re right or wrong.
You’re correct. However, if that’s your stance, it’s also not your place to get upset about the slow pace of negotiations. The NC has the figurative gun. We provide (or withhold) the ammo. I’m not advocating a position, just explaining reality.
