This was a deliberate act....... make deliberate decisions!! To convert this into a policy instead of an agreement is the same thing that they wanted to do with rostering practices. If we accept it the way it is, they will use the fact that we went along with it for a year to show that we do not disagree with the ability for the company to turn it into a policy...... and for them to unilateral make the policy.
kind of sucks. However, like the previous poster, this allows those on the expat housing time to find other jobs. This is what AT wants so they can get the cheap C scales working through the ranks. Say goodbye to bases with the company dictating housing policy.
