Let me spell it out for the stupid and the lazy.....
The writing has been on the wall for a very long time. Not that ASA would dissappear, but it would not get bigger. How long has it been now since the seniority list got any longer? And during that time, what have the people sitting here bitchin' done about it. If those who were at risk put half as much effert in going somewhere else, as they did complaining..........well, you figure it out!
You don't hear Hoser or the guy from the University of Unsupervised Children complaining because they are pretty secure. They are also all for keeping everyone on property. I know those guys and they are not the kind to eat their own. The contract is the only thing that possibly protects you. Maybe you should be just a LITTLE proactive about your career and try not to obtain the oh so coveted victim status, because some are really sitting around here acting like Hurricane Katrina isn't coming.
