When this plays out over the course of the next several weeks and months, then we will know a lot more. Until then, it seems silly to me that we get so upset about the optics of this situation.

Management came out and clearly stated that their approach to the team would be "Always earned, never given.". And you position is, what? We can't take a clear statement like that as a reasonable indication of what their actual practices will be?

If we can't rely on public comments as an indication of what management's actual decisions will be, then what does it matter what his statement means?
