FWIW in the interest of accuracy, and although still a part of the Swire conglomerate, this is a completely different company than it was 8 years ago even. The COS deterioration and manipulation has been an absolute travesty and wholly unacceptable under any standard of decency.
Although I hate to say it, in my opinion it has nothing whatsoever to do with the money. It has to do with enabling bad behavior and supporting an entity which (IMHO) has abused its people by playing factions off against each other and then when faced with some success in so doing went wholly outside the box to hire refugees in an attempt to undermine everyone with a horrible contract. Banking on those 'trapped' by seniority to dutifully continue their trudge. Destroying the wonderful group dynamics of what could be an awesome 'team' through deliberate manipulation. Now it faces a real problem and somehow has the incredible audacity to ask these same people to help out. The company made a conscious effort to undermine a COS by hiring people willing to work cheap and who knowingly put their nose into the hornets nest. And now it hopes to mitigate the situation on the cheap (rather than going through layoff and recall IAW its own contract).
There are many examples of how things have been a 'one way street' over recent years. Doing business like this has its pitfalls. So it can be either 'no f'n way' or a simple 'no' depending on level of politeness one might want.
