What does "come what may" mean?
It usually means "no matter what". So there will be an update from the CWU today.
Yes but it is usually used when one is expecting adverse events.
A bit like come hell or high water. Are we expecting hell or high water today?

Our dom/com reckons Thompson's contract is up on the 17th of this month. hopefully if thats the case and if they aren't renewing his tenure, we,ll maybe get somewhere with who ever replaces him but i doubt it....heres hoping anyway.

My hope is it’s been a long drawn out game of good cop/bad cop and the boards intention was to show how bad things could be and to scare us. Then if ST does go, whoever comes in is less narcissistic and at least smiles while they quietly shaft us.

In short, we look back at how bad it could’ve been, in the present come to some mutual agreement, and hopefully move on into the future.

I’ll go take my tablets now.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

Its the board pulling thompsons strings. You think thompson is doing this on his own? He is a fall guy CEO hes in the get the changes be the hated / 'faile ceo and get a golden handshake. Your living in dreamland if you think someone else will come in and be better.
