This is yet another degradation to current CoS. I cannot vote to allow the Company to present this to New Joiners under CoS 07.
Don't forget about New Joiners that later decide to come to Hong Kong. Under the proposal, not only do they have to wait 4 years to come to HK, but they will also join at a lower SFO yr 1. This pay grade is 2 years lower than the current agreement pay scale if you come to HK after 4 years.
Not once did the company say to the membership that HK was gonna take a pay cut. But sure enough, there it is. Unless you read and compared the pay scales and scrutinized the agreement, you would have missed it. Not to mention the fact that they also put a provision in that allows them to hire right to HK. That would put someone on COS7 at higher pay than a COS99 based FO (including all the expat package).
