As for '2%' not being significant, for some companies it makes a big difference, the bigger question is how many jobs do people with your attitude create vs those to whom that 2% may be important?

Listen. I've worked with public companies for most of my career. These companies do what they are tasked to do and that is look out for shareholders first and foremost. Fair enough but they have no loyalty to AB. They don't get to where they are because the are stupid or poor negotiators and game players. If you are an AB'er and care about the future of AB you would do well to keep that in mind when weighing pros and cons. Oil will not be around forever. What legacy do you want?
