Apple Tree Yard,
So now that CX crew can go out on bases and can extend their contracts beyond earlier retirement ages, "management" reasoning in trying to get pay back towards an industry standard seems logical? My guess is that you think not.
Plus how about the hundreds and hundreds of non-Chinese CX staff who continue to "dedicate their working life to HKG". By your reasoning premium pay is appropriate for them too.
I don't even know what you mean by the "management" - the Board, the executive, the top 50 "managers", managers in general or just anyone who disagrees with you?
