Just have to voice an opinion here:

Management has been extolling us to keep up the good fight. They know that this security change will impact us but say just "grin and bear it."

But the corporate web page is telling us to arrive at the airport four hours before our flight and to never ever check our laptops. However, us worker bees have been talking among ourselves. We just feel with the check luggage requirement has pushed us over the travel edge and will add two additional hours to each leg of our trips.

This group provides technical support to our sales force. As a group, we have decided that same day travel is out as well as night travel is out. We are now traveling on the day before customer meetings during normal business hours and the day after during normal business hours. We are not taking flights that put us at our destination after 6pm local time.

While we know that this action will have a direct impact on our personal sales commissions, we have decided to push back on the work / life balance scale.
