Oh, they’re going to fly in scabs? I’m sure that’ll really save a lot of money for the company. You’ll be paying relocation costs for all your headcount and then the scabs will be just as fucked by CoL.

These trust fund babies that go through Harvard or Yale and then coast on their name to instantly step into a senior leadership role are literally worse choices than picking a random fucking one of us off the street.
