I’ll sum up this dilemma with a sports analogy: It’s really difficult to come up with a winning strategy when the rules keep changing and the goal posts keep moving. Keep the contract intact, hope for the best, plan for the worst. We have a seniority system for a reason, and thats how I planned my life. Now, if you want to talk about changing the entire paradigm regarding the “seniority system” in place, thats an entirely different argument for another time. JMHO
