We all saw it coming, but didn't want to believe it.

Love Fest - Don't shit where you eat

refuse to interview for metro positions
Some of us (MTL & PBS..) are forced to compete with our friends and partners to keep our jobs. I am so sick about the idea of interviewing for a job so two other people can lose theirs. WE SHOULD ALL REFUSE TO INTERVIEW FOR METRO POSITIONS.
