Not really. It means guys junior to you waived portions of the contract that are supposed to be protected and they took the line your seniority actually holds. It’s the same principle as someone willing to do your job for less. However anyone wants to view the 4 days off, it is supposed to be protected and you essentially are bidding to the lowest common denominator if guys below you are willing to waive.
