No. we get what we can negotiate and for heavens sake, stop spinning the lame-ass pie story. That tired old phrase has been managing expectations well before I came on property 33 years ago and is meaningless. Yes management sets out to craft a contract that costs them only so much but it’s our job to exceed it and then some.
Shut your Pie-Hole
you missed the point. I was shooting down the pie is so big theory. The size of the pie is what we can negotiate and what gets voted in, not what they want to serve.
