I read they want a 77% raise. That seems . . . excessive.

gangbusters

What would you settle for?

9:09am

I have no idea. I'm merely stating that 77% seems excessive.

gangbusters

Isn't that over 5 or 6 years, so 10-12% per year?

Yes. It will be painful but I hope we can outlast them.

It's time for them to lose their jobs to automation
