Just my own opinion of course, but they seemed to just be looking at their own perks which anyone would do wouldnt they? I mean there is a fine line between thinking big picture, and looking after your own interests.
Yeah we would like everyone to think big picture and one would think that "good for company" = "good for employee" but realistically human nature wise, you just want your BF seat perk. Overall these comments are pretty friendly for an internal employee type site I thought.
