You're whistling through the grave yard pal. The entire industry is in a race to the bottom of the cheap rate, cheap labor, lowest cost provider outcome. Face it. You don't exactly have to be here on a Fulbright to know how to pick up a box and haul over to someplace else. In fact you're seeing the beginning of it with your own contract with the creation of the 22.4 employee. It's like a cancer and it's only going to spread through the industry and the only thing that will spare you personally from being impacted is if you have enough seniority to stay above the fray.Keep praying. That’s your only hope. Lolol. I’ll keep making 110K a year to do the same job you do for peanuts. Have fun.
Then again given the growing prospect of pension plan insolvency in the end even you may feel some pain in the days ahead.
