4years back, everyone was hired with individual terms (everyone negociates his own deal). Then came the DM supremacy (not the Bourne one). Company was fast growing already and hiring significantly. They implemented a salary grid lowering the salary of most of the guys under the previous terms. Then comes this new fanstastic deal where, again, we lose money and overall situation awareness. Divide to conquer with country per country differences. It works. They are smart.
For the one happy with the new deal, ask yourself if you are honestly comfortable with the taxes, the sickness policy, seniority, bounding (6years for a GV), and salary...
