again, just playing devil's advocate here: what if the work was really inferior, the person was warned to perform better, not come in late, be more professional etc and there was no improvement. i'm NOT saying that about monki, but i've had to demote someone who really slacked, didn't care about quality, repeated mistakes etc...in that case, i wasn't being a jerk...i was really trying to get the guy to shape up and do better work for himself and the company.
if i'd been a jerk, i'd have fired him on the spot but instead i gave him these types of warnings hoping for a positive change - and after trying many other incentives and encouragement. i don't know the entire story which is why i'm relating this, just for perspective.
monki, if you did a good job and the guy's acting this way, just leave!

hi all , thank you for all the great response. I believe this is the power of this design internet forum, where people can share their experiences of the real world out there.
Anyway, back to the story, yes i admit that i made some big mistakes during working there, plus .. i actually did some really stupid mistake days before the evaluation meeting like slacking off and actually get caught having breakfast with a colleague when u r not supposed to and also had an argument with one of their consultant when doing a project recently.
Seriously i would love to show u guys my work , but personally i'm kinda afraid, You guys know what i mean. Being there for 7 months, i have done around 7 projects. He was "ok " with all the projects and one of them had a great responses.
The main point during the self evaluation meeting, what he said actually is that he would give me 3 months to buckle up and after that the salary would be back to normal or even higher. And plus he said that there will be more interesting projects coming soon.
Hmm... it seems that i will have to build a new portfolio and start to find new job i guess. Thank you guys, girls for reading. *peace*

So it sounds to me like you screwed up, and that your employer isn't too happy with your conduct, thus the pay deduction. You even state that he's willing to bump you back up or even higher if you "buckle up" and basically prove to him that you can be the employee he's looking for.
I struggle to see what the problem is, why are you bitter about it? If anything you should take what he's said seriously and clean up your act. From what you say, it sounds like he's happy with your work, but not with your work ethic.
Honestly, if you don't learn from this I don't think finding a new job is the answer as you'll probably end up in the same situation.

wait a sec, what is his definition of a grid? Is there a specific or universal way to describe it or use it? Sounds to me he's using lame excuses...

Am i right to assume that this pay deduction means more than "oh crap i can't go to any movies for 3 months)? If that's the case and the reduction is a matter of you having housing and food, i would try to speak to your boss and let him know that working harder (which you'll need to acknowledge that you need to do) and not having enough money to live might actually produce the opposite results that he's hoping for. i know that for myself, whenever times have been lean, i can't seem to get my head out of the panic and depression that that causes enough to give more energy to my work.

Sounds like he is trying to drive you out.
