The lakes on the stocking list can and will change, based on need. We won't be reacting to the problem (of a poor year class), we'll be addressing the problem as it occurs.
In the last couple of years, there has definitely been an increase in the number of wage-and-hour actions brought on behalf of computer related employees.
