Interesting that you would think that the TA was the FIRST written offer. Do you think that our NC was so lame to accept the FIRST offer? Do you not think that the TA was the cumlmination of MANY offers and counter-offers? I have to believe that JM and BT are more savvy than that and we are seeing the end of the road, not the beginning. I know the numbers may not be what we think we are worth, but my buds in management tell me that we aren't worth what we are being paid now!
