I wouldn't think otherwise of a company that has a loud as fuck intro video with a pause button. The wallet with cash falling out is a nice touch.. I haven't finished it yet, and Im very excited to see how it all unfolds. Yeh!

does that come with double the work too? That's similar to what I'm going through instead I experienced no pay cuts but I'm doing the job of 3 people

25%? That seems crazy unless you were getting paid the big bucks. How does that affect your living expenses?

Uhg i took %20 almost 7 months ago...
I'm on the verge of renegotiating to get it back right now tho. Still, I feel ya. It's not fun and it's quite a chunk of change.

I worked 18 hours yesterday and 18 hours the day before, so yes, double the work. Luckily, I was reasonably well paid before the cut, but I'm supposed to close on a house in 3 weeks. Things are going to be tight.
- You need to walk. Who the fuck works 18hours a day? They don't expect that in Cambodia.monNom
- Also: do not buy a house.monNom
- hahaha 18 hours/day for 25% less? find a new job!Milan
- DO NOT buy a house right now. seriously. It's OK to rent.theredmasque
- Also I used to work an 18 hour a day job. My health went downhill after a while. It's not worth it.theredmasque
- fuck that, buy now. prices aren't going down unless you're buying a tract house.airey

pay cut #2 is about to roll in. I'm gettin real tired of this shit ... I guess it's time to man up and figure out how make money, because working a 9-5 isn't paying shit anymore.
- dirtydesign0
fuck that. 25% is ridiculous.
- dirtydesign0
wait, can you work 4 days a week, 9-5?

it's not so sunny on the other side either. (freelance).
- akrokdesign0
damn, so...
ex. if you made 65k. you're only making around 49k.
- joyride0
start looking elsewheres - you'll never get it back if they do turn it around... or they'll treat it like a raise, when if fact it is not, just less of a cut
- scarabin0
screw that, i'd bounce. update your book and start applying elsewhere
i'm willing to bet the principals didn't give themselves a cut

A former co-worker of mine just found out his pay is being cut by 42.5% ASAP. It's messed up.

Quit then say your available for freelance and charge them the going rate which will be higher than your salary. I've seen plenty of people pull this off.
