Good luck to the rest of you.

Miss information in this thread. No Venezuelans working as DEs in Bangkok.
'Must-move' was a joke, trying to make this entire process look fair. Maybe 10% must - moves got placed. Such a waste of everyone's time. Looks like the representatives that went to Houston spent all the effort saving their incumbents in open positions. Such a sham!

I'm one of the guys axed. I can tell you it was brutal, almost all on the "must move" list all were cut including DSM's. One guy asked to be on the list because he just had twins last year and wanted a shorter hitch. A couple of guys were from countries we pulled out of (Romania). And the rest were just because????? there was no rhyme or reason
