Yet another example of the contract being blurred. "Marketing changes?" "Technical difficulties?" YGBSM. Not contractual excuses. Not our problem, don't want to hear about it. Or is the company pushing to test, to see if ALPA complains, ala the "good faith" sick leave clause in the contract?

Next time I forget to bid, I'm going to inform the company that, due to "technical difficulties," my bid will be two days late. How do you think that will work?

You're really reaching here. The bid packets were a one day late, and the bid window was extended one day. Not a big deal.

.

Question: Is there a provision in the contract for the company to override the bid timeline for any reason.

Yes or no.

No worries. I don't think I've ever seen the L&G skip before. I swear I felt a slight tremor under my feet.

We'll get over it.

All I'm saying is that we're expected to follow the contract. There are no excuses for us. And if we don't adhere to the contract, there are consequences.

Apparently it's a one-way street.
