”Self correcting” is management’s dream. Especially if it does so after they furlough.
I would treat an ALV cut like a loan to the company. If they want to raise it, they can buy it back at the negotiating table when things are better. Or they can leave it.
It might be the one thing we could do that would benefit the company now, and us later. A “give” that I don’t want to take back unless they can buy it.
