All will become clear by December.
All of us in Hong Kong need to remember that it's one seniority list and one company basing doesn't affect LIFO, it seems a few of the newer COs18 hires don't get that probably because of their lack of experience in the industry.
We all need to start planning and we all need to be incredibly familiar with our conditions of service/contracts.
agreed in most part, except that it has nothing to do with ‘cos18’ lack of experience in the industry, LIFO is not in their contract.
