One option I wanted to see, but never materialized: half-value lines.. off for the first or second half of the month. Stay current, Stay home, collect half the pay.

I would have jumped for that. Nearly jumped for the COMA at one point, but realized first year FO pay would not save the company any money. They're after the very senior guys.. who don't seem to be biting the bait.

My christmas spirit just got flushed.
