Everyone that I interacted with across a wide seniority spectrum saw them for what they are...complete BS.
I think that was also apparent in the union's reaction to it, which was disdain, doubt, anger, and ridicule of the very idea and those who were peddling it.
No, but I never saw the letter as anything other than a way to get me fired up and actively involved in helping legislation get passed that protected our pay. The thing is, I was already collecting a stipend NOT to work, and kind of saw my willingness to do that as a suckers bet. Kind of felt F'd, even though I know that's not the case.
I'll tell you what though, now that I'm coming back, the smoker has been going for a solid 24 hrs, because I do pulled pork with a whole young pig, ribs, brisket, all frozen and eaten when I'm on a trip. I'll be filling a freezer with such goodness.
I'll be ready!
