So basically what you’re saying is: “Screw the rest of you guys (who all went through first year pay at a lower rate than you), this benefits me right now. I know I took the job at this current rate before ANYONE knew there would be an early TA, but if you don’t give me what I want I will leave. My buddies will leave too. We’ll all leave together holding hands because you guys are big meanies who won’t give us what we want.”
Listen closely kid: I WANT ALL OF US TO HAVE EVEN MORE!
