To be fair it has nothing to do with what we think (or what the company thinks) we are worth, and all to do with how little they think they can get away with giving us, and with how much leverage we can bring to bear. Speaking of “the shareholders” is meaningless as the majority shareholder are Swire and they call the shots. Private shareholders are a small minority.
MC, as many here have tried to explain the offer was deemed to be worth peanuts (for many it actually would have meant a financial loss) and came at a high cost, one which was judged too expensive to be worth it.
If the company does in fact have a retention and training problem then it’s up to them to fix the offer, not us. If not, so be it, but at least I won’t have to wake up in the morning and know that I voluntarily signed up for “ST19”.
