bbforks, I knew what you were asking, but I cannot answer because I have no first hand knowledge. Maybe this time next year, I'll have an answer. I have always had the opinion one should get from the company what has been promised, but if you stay around long enough, you find many times you are told what they think you want to hear so you will continue to do your job and hang around. It's like that promise of equal pay for equal work but it doesn't get there and they make excuses.
I have learned to try to do my job and avoid the politicing atmosphere. Maybe someone will voice an opinion.
