Do you realize what it does to our numbers when INDIVIDUALS pick up open time......How many hours were picked up last year, too many? I didnt think you were an all about ME kind of guy. Who cares about other trying to get a job here right?
I see where you are coming from but you need to be realistic and know that there will always be someone picking up open time. I don't agree with it during negotiations or a ja/ot ban but right now it's fair game. I am not advocating open time hookers but it's unreasonable to expect noone to pick up open time because then the company would hire more. I was lucky and had another job to supplement my income on first year pay but some people do not. I don't think it's fair to tell someone they had a lack of financial planning if they need to pick up some open time on first year pay. GMAB!
