what is the point of trying to answer these questions for management?
Apache, no respect mate. Based on your comments you have now no right to whingers about REX and it's condition because you are not working to help the two "sides" meet in the middle. At least JJ provided a good response and gave some valid answers to some questions. I am not working against you rather trying to understand and work with you.
You don't know who I am!
JJ, thank you for your response, yes I remember some of the stuff you mentioned, but
Think at least 50% increase in base salary.
Really? And then the company goes broke? Then what?
Agreed REX needs to do something but the above is not it. You yourself said pay is part of the problem, lifestyle is the other, so if REX gave you a 50% pay rise and work you to the bone you'd stay. Before you all attack, I know REX at the moment works the SYD crews already to the bone. Been there done that, but you have alluded to the fact pay will only keep half of you.
Two way street as mentioned.
