Here's the funny thing about 'threats': The real danger is to the one issuing it. For me, all it did was stiffen my resolve to commit even further and stronger to CC. When the date comes, what can CX do? If they do something 'draconian', then they have effectively destroyed what little good will and co-operation that was still possible. Even more of us will make plans to leave. Certainly none of us will give two pennies worth of care to anything further that they say or want. They issued the date with the implied threat, not me. I will simply react to whatever it is they want to do. The real risk is to what little ability they have remaining to manage a sustainable operation. Try the 'stick', and you will see a seething rebellion the likes of which they will be discussing at business schools for decades to come. None of us really care any more. I've been threatened, abused and treated with contempt for 20 years. I find it comical that they think the way out of this mess is with yet another threat. Brilliant managers, every one of them.
