Slowly and with time it is getting harder and harder for management to change things.
Yeah, as we are being shoved to lesser COS, that seems a bit out of touch.
Besides, management doesn't have to work so hard with the AOA helping to push it along.
And I am in the AOA, but not for long. And by focusing on myself I am looking at the bigger picture. It is people that take COS08, a lesser deal, just so they can keep working to 65 that are being selfish. They'll endorse a deal that screws the majority just so they can have security to 65. Not to mention that everyone who has asked for extension has gotten it, so it is a moot point anyways.
You should support your principles - not leaders or associations. This way, when those leaders / associations go off the deep-end, you don't end up following them.
