The more I read your posts the more I think you were not offered a position with NJ because for someone who turned it all down, you are very bitter and angry about it all.
Why are you so motivated about it if it is so bad?
Please explain this statement of yours, 'I think he/she must be very pissed with your seniority list and I bet a lot of others are....'
Why would he/she be pissed, we all wanted a seniority list and it has been drawn up the fairest way possible, being from when you joined the company and not when you upgraded.
So what is your probelm with that, that is how every seniority list is made.
And you still have not answered my question, your friend who has gone to the G5 has been in the company around 5 years, are you saying he got a bad deal?
Is your friend who is pissed with the seniority list leaving on account of how bad NJ is, for that matter, is your friend who is going to the G5 leaving because it is that bad?
Dont think so.
We are very lucky you didnt join, because you seem to be a whining twerp!
