Therefore we are hiring 200 a month at least until the end of the year.” She sounded like we’d murdered her dog or something.

Even the high up VPs at Velvet talked about how concerning completion factor was so I’d imagine that HT and RG are in the hot seat right now. Oh well, if they want relief I’ve heard ALPA is taking calls…..

In the meantime I can wait. 23 mil a month for 23m7 is a rather ironic number match.
My wife grandfather, rest in peace, said to us many times… “you pay now or you pay later”.

They decided to pay later to save some coins. Now they are paying wayyyyyy more.
