[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 74546, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]There actually may be a few emergencies out there this year. Volume is up quite a bit over last year and over the plan. The "anything goes" response from the sups probably deserves a grievance on principle. If volume is up significantly over last year and plan then the center management person shouldn't have any problem making that case. The crystal ball can be a little cloudy at times.
