I am going to give them a chance also. We were told we can keep our statutory status and we'll see what happens with the other stuff. I am not jumping ship now. I don't like offshoring, but at this point don't really feel like going through the whole process of looking for a job and starting over. We MDI MTs are in this together, we can give it a try together. My budget doesn't allow me to quit to just make a point,and I also wonder how many of those who say they have quit MDI really have.
