I hear you Dragon, the problem is that regardless of all our positioning and our posturing, what can be done? Things are moving to a place now where each individual is been forced to make a decision, is that a good or bad thing? I suppose it depends on ones personal position. When the decision offered does not suit someone they clammer for unity and union but then if those same individuals find themselves getting an offer that suits them they will jump at it. Here however we are been asked to take unpaid leave, this may help avoid other measures which could finish the careers of our junior colleagues. That is the only decision we have control over right now. Thats the facts. If you or I were instead in Management roles rather than our chosen careers Im sure we would be listening to different rational for various actions. Thats life.
The sickening thing here is that for whatever reason and no I don't accept it is all down to mgmt, we find ourselves in such a them and us position.
I personally find Managements "leadership" skills vile in many ways but I refuse to become like them or as bad as them.
Their day will come though, now doubt, as it has across the waters for so many such managers. However in the meantime we need to behave like the professionals we are supposed to be.
To those few who find themselves with the winning lottery ticket right now, well fair play to them all, wish it had been me 20 years ago. I wish no bad on them the ticket could have turned anyway.
