Sam Ting Wong,
Relax.
This is the same playbook that swire used at KA when they were in CC.
Right up until RH walked over the road and handed them the RP's they were after.
Just like "sign or be fired" - no one fired
"This is our best and final pay offer" - 3 months later a better offer.
"None of the 49ers will be re-hired" - about half were offered a job.
They spread the rumor they are tough and don't back down but their history is the opposite.
We're in it for the long game. AT only gets a year or 2 to prove herself before joining PC as a real estate agent.
Follow the GMO's advise.
Relax, wave and smile.
