dude that sucks - do you work in a big or small shop?
- Point50
small shop. Situations like this suck... I know many other people have lost their jobs, but getting a pay cut is like de-valuing your work/worth. Personally, I just see this as the first load of water that this sinking ship is taking on; most likely a short matter of time before it's submerged. Thank god I've been freelancing like a mad man for the last month.
- Sucks mate - rather that than lose your job though. Ride it out till things get better. Sorry.jevad

This is a big management no-no. You have a company of enemies, updating resumes. It is better to fire someone imo.

I will still be getting my 50% bonus. 35% would be the absolute worse scenario.

How much did they cut?
In all honesty, I'd start looking around for a new gig at that point. There are still jobs out there.
- where? 7 friends got laid off a month ago and no one is finding anythingmegE
- yeah some companies are still hiring. think in this kind of economy it's all about how well you shake your money maker.piperboytoy

Do you have a contract? If so, isn't this illegal?
- NotByHand0
Sorry to hear that, Point5. Incredibly poor timing for something like that. It's in times like these that severe lack of leadership ability from people in managerial positions really show.
As mentioned above, hopefully you can still appreciate the fact that you indeed have a job (unlike many other), and still enjoy the Holidays.

^it's a common knee jerk reaction by bosses
- airey0
well it's either reduce wages to cuts costs or axe a staff member or 2. personally i'd be ok with a pay cut if it meant a job. at least you can job search while still employed if you're not happy with the situation.
- dMullins0
I wasn't aware that pay cuts were legal. Interesting.
- piperboytoy0
yeah sorry to hear this. It's tough as long as you don't have to put in extra hours after work. I hope you find something better. Can they just lay off non productive people instead?
