crwass,
I think your name says all we need to know about you. If you can't see through the belittling, threatening, and unilateral course of action the company is choosing, then you are not deserving of better. Fortunately, many of us do deserve better and can see through their BS. Give negotiations a chance...
BusyB,
I support you posting this particular update, but agree that it is not something to be done regularly.
