Big company or small? 25% is kind of ridiculous

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

I'd talk to a lawyer about this... I think typically you can either take the paycut, or accept a lay-off with severance. From the sound of it, your company may be getting ready to fail. Most would lay-off 25% of staff if things are slow. (layoffs cost money though). Sounds like things are NOT slow, but they still can't make payrole. = they are going to blow up.
I may be totally wrong about this, and they're just complete weasels, but I'd get out with what you can.
