You’re right that it’s dead FOR now. Hiring will come back again at some point, we just don’t know when yet. And he was spewing his BS before china flu.
That said, the ability or non-ability for Envoy to hire is the only thing management cares about when it comes to negotiating improvements in our pay and and our work conditions. It absolutely does matter. If his BS goes unchecked, potential hires will read it and think it’s true. And what he types today, can be read a year from now, two years from now...
And before you say what’s on APC shouldn’t carry that kind of weight, we have guys ON PROPERTY that bid 175 CA because Envoy’s APC profile says they’ll get paid more money as a 175 CA than a 145 CA.
