Do we have a deal for you
Management have kept the bases closed for 3 years so that there is a lot of built up demand for them. They then offer us a deal. Bases open again if we sign away housing in HKG.
3 years ago NR started floating the idea that the company shouldn't have to pay for more than one 'house' in HKG. He also asked 'when is an expat no longer an expat'.
New joiners are on a crap housing deal. We will be soon too. Just watch all the guys who have made their money out of the HKG housing market selling up and heading off to their base slots, selling out those left in HKG.
Divide and pineapple!
