I could ask you the same if you think every press release includes a full and accurate listing of the authors’ goals and opinions, or that they aren’t conceived and written from the authors general view point.
As a small business owner/operator I have chosen ’suicide’ before when someone squeezed too hard. It can be stressful, no doubt, but it worked out. Hostess was in Chapter 11, and was in the process of being sold. There was every reason to suspect that this wasn’t going to be the last demand to come down the pike, that sizable layoffs weren’t around the corner anyway if some cutthroat VC picked up the company.
Brain food, apparently! :lamo

Very similar in my case on at least one occasion. Their business had some serious structural problems. In fact it wasn’t the first time they’d squeezed. I had every expectation they were going to be coming back to me again, asking for retroactive price drop. I decided my time was worth more than that, even if I didn’t have replacement work lined up at that point.
Best to not take it too personally. On either side. Sometimes business’ feasibility just sort of evaporates, too. Maybe somebody should have seen it coming and adapted, if that was realistically possible. *shrug* But **** happens.
I have also as an employee walked off a job site because I was being told to do positively stupid, self-endangering stuff for truly crap pay. Did not have a job to go to. No job can indeed be better than crap job.
Logically, however, I must presume that it's much more difficult to pay that rent with $0/hr than with $18/hr. Now 18,500 people are jobless, a company that has been in business for over 80 years has gone belly-up, and I can't help but wonder if the union is proud of itself. :shrug:
Besides which, I adore Twinkies and Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes.
I was recommending some Ding Dongs.
So in the future you might not be so confused about why what you term ’suicide’ can be an entirely logical, appropriate response to someone telling you they want the same thing for less money.

No need to pretend, you would never accept it.
I say that because one does not exclude the other, does not have much to do with the other really.It wasn’t that the bakers offered no concessions. The gap just wasn’t closed.
