My best guess is 3pm on May 18th for the "Pay Review is Delayed" letter, but the actual publication of the Pay Review has been so erratic in the last 5 years that it's anybody's guess when THAT gem will be published.

Also might be fun to speculate on what imaginative Cost Cutting contract "Enhancements" we might see ahead? Was the most egregious "Enhancement" of recent lore the DEWA Cap, or was it the raising of the "Productivity Threshold" some years ago? My personal favorite, from the sheer unexpectedness of the move was the withholding of the Step Increase back in 2009.

Aside from an out-and-out Salary Cut (and here, never say "impossible", just look at the Freighter Contract), What kinds of mischief do you all think is going through the minds of the bouncy-castle crowd this week?

Good luck to all of us!
Well, as has always been the case, every employee has 2 choices. There's no point speculating or otherwise, a better idea would be to "wine" elsewhere than be here. There is very little to whine about here as the future is getting more clear for all of us, there is less to talk about as less and less is being offered.

Good week to all,

J
