I actually declined in relative seniority due to VSP and ExTO. Not complaining, I’m senior enough that 1221 and base shrinking didn’t affect me, and junior enough that I don’t have to worry about upgrade. But just because you see upgrades don’t assume that automatically everyone is better off. While the medium to long term prospects look good, the next couple months will be rough.
thank you for confirming that it’s all about perspective:

I wonder what good news would look like. 🙄 cheer the 🦆 up! A little short term pain for long term gain. Upgrades are good news for everyone.

At least the monkey at the bottom of the tree has less a-holes to stare at whilst looking up said tree, now.

And they'll be different monkeys because now you'll be displaced to a different domicile. Long-term good short-term bad for those at the bottom.

Yep. It sure is crazy hearing a few people WHINE about upgrades. Then they complain that the company threw in some extra upgrades at the last minute!

I guess you senior enough for it not to effect. Got it. After all the other displacements out west. Here come more. Thought this company was all about QOL.

Nope, my juniority is huuuuge! Big enough to have my furlough warning framed on my wall. So no cool aid drinker here and if even I can see that upgrades are good I have no idea how people can find them bad.

There’s plenty of bad trust me….. covid exposure pulls no longer paid, training scheduling doing whatever they want, bait and switch open time…… but complaining about being junior seems like whining to me.

I guess we'll just have to differ then. Because to me it's that the hits just keep coming.

120 new hires in Dec. Temporary setback for long term gain. All those displaced will hopefully be back in their wanted bases soon.
