My Boss Offers a 40% Pay Cut as a 'Gift' 🤔
I've been with my company for a year and a half, building up a new branch in the Midwest from scratch. As regional manager and sales director, I poured my energy into making this work. So imagine my shock when, during a routine call, my manager tells me the CEO wants to cut my pay by 40%. The catch? I get to keep my title, but only focus on one state instead of the whole region. Supposedly, this means less pressure, but honestly, 90% of my time already goes to that state anyway.
He admitted it's a cost-cutting move, but here's my dilemma: if I accept, my salary history takes a huge hit. That could haunt me when applying for loans or future jobs. But if I refuse, do I risk being pushed out? Has anyone else faced something like this? I feel stuck and could really use some advice. 😟
