What if there’s not many drafts available, then for who needs the money to put food on the table, to pay rent or mortgage etc will have lot of stress. If you have achieved financial freedom then well done, you can consider early retirement or go part time or just call in sick to get your extra days off. Other people I believe would be the majority in the company still have financial obligations to meet. So higher base pay trade with 6 DDOs is fair to me.

Wasn’t the 12 DDOs a trade off for less MCG for EA21 due to COVID? Now for higher MCG from a business point of view I don’t think any company would increase considerable amount of money for free. That’s the reality.
