I simply disagree. Being junior sucks. What the company did was a crappy thing to do (putting it nicely to get passed APC's rules). We should not be disregarding seniority for it though. Most people will be back in their base of choice this year. I will vote against anything that does more than we already do wrt negating seniority. Pin it on the company all you want and you got my vote.
