How much do companies usually take away from your pay?

While many companies are asking people to take pay cuts, are the big dogs taking them too? ?

  • For many years we have seen companies say they need to cut cost and cut jobs, and pay, while the CEO's and top managers are getting huge pay bonuses. Is this new trend going to be across the board? Have you or anyone in your family taken a pay cut? Are you a supervisor or upper management, or someone under? Where do you stand? What do you do? If not you, how about people you know?

  • Answer:

    I took a pay cut the day Bush II took office, and each year thereafter my profit has decreased. But the big dogs are not likely to take any pay cuts--that is why they are asking their peons to take the pay cuts instead. Oh yes, a lot of my acquaintances are taking pay cuts or working reduced hours... Or they are unemployed from virtually every kind of occupations...

A number are. Not all, but quite a few big wigs are taking cuts. One of our clients recently cut nearly 20 executives who answered to the CEO directly, while the CEO himself and the rest of the board took a 20% pay cut.

Who do you think is making the decisions? The big dogs, that's who.

What is a 20% pay decrease to someone who gets 20 million a year in compensation ? So they go down to 16million a year . So what . They are already independently wealthy . Most of us would be glad to take one year of their salary and retire because we wouldn't need any more . But these people don't see it that way . They must always have more and more and more ... while sucking the rest of us dry. The big dogs take pay cuts to look good , look at me I'm giving back wealth I could never spend in one lifetime . meanwhile the guy who lives paycheck to paycheck can take a cut too . Sorry you can't afford your mortgage anymore . Too bad your children won't be able to go to college . The big dogs will do whatever benefits them . They don't care about the average workers who make their exorbitant salaries possible .
