If I was management I'd do exactly the same and I've certainly factored that in on plenty of occasions when consulted as to who to get rid of when down-sizing towards the end of big jobs - after the truly incompetent, agitators are usually next on the list. I'm afraid tired supervisors/POs/management can do without the additional aggro of having to deal with them. Even if you're in a union there's no defence against just not being offered a new contract....
Sadly this is true in my experience.........agitators are usually seen as those who stick their neck out on the very subjects the charter is attempting to address.............me included more than once !!..and the non renewal get out is widely used.................
