With better seniority or pay, it might be a lot easier to spend that time visiting family and friends.





It's easy to only see everything through the lens of your current category, but the situation you describe above often isn't a reality, especially during non-rona times. Just because GS currently flow like wine in your category, doesn't mean that's here to stay, or that it's happening everywhere. In some categories (pre-rona), namely WB, GS#1 rarely made it out of the same small handful of pilots and GS#2 was a mostly a unicorn. Also, despite what people who hate on Peachtree City folks (I don't live there lol) love to believe, not everyone who takes GS's lives their lives waiting on that GS call.
