re: Austin Thomas not happy right now hmmmm....

I get you but im just saying if a lateral postion offers you more and your job is to do the same but for more money you stay? Youve asked for more and dont get and you see no promotion in future you still stay?
If he is best availble at his job you take him back. If he isnt the best you go after the best and take austin back only if you cant get. Atleast You know his talents
