They always give the good news, never the bad -- hence seeing the fine print.

For example.

Lose 1 week vacation. per year. Big deal right? Nobody loses a job right?

Wrong. You need 1 person to cover 48 people during that one week of vacation each person has. Which means that for every 4800 workers, 100 people lose their jobs.

Now is that 1 week of vacation we lose that we get to pick? Or is it a week of SPA that the company chooses? Gee, losing that camping week in August would hurt a lot more than that week off in February the company chooses.

Like I said - fine print.

There is a saying in "my union", No Clawbacks. Like I said, as long as there are no clawbacks, then it seems okay. And yes, always read the fine print.
