I don't think anyone frankly is drinking the kool-aid. I know I'm not. Many, but myself am doing the same thing i did with Robles at the beginning. Giving the benefit of the doubt until shown otherwise. It's been 3 months and a lot has happened. But there has been plenty of movement. I think everyone, or at least everyone that I've talked to is doing the same. As well as seeing the company try to force their comprehensive package.
The company always complained that Robles wasn't negotiatiing in good faith or at all. That it was just games. Well, they now have the chance to do it. And I personally believe that they will, of course it doesn't mean that they wont try to get all their way if they can. But yeah, I still firmly believe that a deal will be reached in a few months. June was overly ambitious by the company, hell many of us hoped. But between the Owen's wrench that was thrown in April, it definitely upset everyone; including the company.
Reality is that if you lose all faith and had enough then you must move one if you can. If you plan on staying here then you need to gut it out just a bit longer; just a bit.
