All I can say is trust me, a lot of us have given up "enough".
And, realistically speaking, if the cost of the workers wasn't so high, then they wouldn't have to make these concessions now in order to help keep GM afloat.
As far as what I'm "giving up"? A fair chunk of sanity. The size of my networks hasn't gone down, we're still moving forward with big I.T.-related projects here and we're 2 guys short (from 5 to 3) at an international mining contractor with hundreds of mail-enabled employees.
Don't get me wrong, I love my job. I STILL love my job. It's just that sanity has taken a back seat in the last 6 months as layoffs have occurred and workloads have increased numerically and atypically for all that remain here.
Maybe if the unions were more efficient and less of a drag, they'd be less of a bother now. Just saying. :ph34r:
