Just received an email from my boss... Everyone in the company is getting a pay cut FML!!!!

[UNR33L]

they are letting some people go at my work as well!

[jezza boii]

Yeah, my boss wanted to avoid that... So he just cut the pay of like 200 people I'd rather he just fired like 20 people.

[krzysiu]

I'm getting 2 pay rises. Goin up a level and then yearly pay use is kicking in

[jezza boii]

Way to rub it in haha.

I've just emailed my boss asking him if I could work from home. The money I save on parking/petrol would cover my pay cut (like $80 a week).

I doubt he'll say yes, but if he does then it'll be awesome No more annoying colleagues. Would get heaps more work done.

^^ Working from home can be good and bad, depends on what suites you.

[jezza boii]

I could do double my normal workload in half a day at home. My colleagues distract me way too much. Especially the 24 yr old IT guy that thinks he is 5 years old and sits behind me all day talking non-stop or playing with his Thunderbirds toys (with sound effects!).

I'd get nothing done at home, but a payout package wouldn't be bad either

[MrWindsurf]

I got a payrise earlier in the week and then found out they are letting people go next week, but I had a meeting and my boss was hellz happy with my performance winner

[Rekin]

isnt it illegal to drop someones pay? You have to fire them and then re-hire them under a new contract..Something sounds dodgy!

[jezza boii]

Really? Below is the email... I have removed all names for privacy reasons.

Hi all

As we all know business has been pretty slow since January 2010. I think it has been the slowest 6 months we have ever had.

Unfortunately ********** has to trim its costs further but I do not want to make any more redundancies as I really hate them

What I am requesting is that each person in this email contact me and discuss the following

I would like each person to take a 10% pay cut for 12months effective in 2 weeks from now

Hopefully we can ride the downturn and avoid any redundancies or people losing a days work.

******** is a stable and secure business but I have to ensure it remains this way

[alr33x]

yeh its not legal but its the nice way of saying take a pay cut or we dont have a place for you any more..

10% less of something is more than 100% of nothing.

having said that might be a good time to start looking elsewhere if oppertunity arises?

[Kris..]

hey alex

[alr33x]

hey kris

im bored nothing to do till 1.30 come hang out
