The more he lashes out, the more unhappy he is. Poor little baby.

Sadly, I think those sorts of games aren't on the table right now. Everyone, including Kirby, is in survival mode only at this point.
There's a time and a place for whip-saw tactics and union-busting, but I'm extremely skeptical anyone at any level is worried about much of anything except the veritable millions of dollars they are losing each DAY. He's not trying to figure out how to screw over one regional or another, he's trying to figure out how to not go broke.

Tin foil hat guys are thinking management has some sort of grand master plan to play with scope right now. That is nowhere near their top priorities right now. Managing this crunch, and especially dealing with the recovery is.
