I joined with south coast and agree with him, except... we were actually paid from day 0 which was the day prior Indoc on which we traveled to Lisbon.
To me, it looks like management are definitely on the right track. Our CEO came to reign last April and has since appointed a HR director, had a survey carried out among all employees, has identified the main culprits and has taken action. The much-discussed new pay deal is not finished, it is the first step that takes care of the top three issues. On top of that he is taking every opportunity to set the right example towards the troops and is addressing the whole atmosphere in the LIS headquarters. I find that enough action to give management the benefit of the doubt.
