Re item “The pay cut of 2020 which became permanent”: the Day Job I had in 2008 used that year’s onset of the Great Recession to stop annual raises and *never* brought them back — at least, not while I was still there, which was until early 2015.
- ivraatiems 4y agoWow, what kept you there so long?
- brycewray 4y agoNo other opportunities to speak of; inertia; I was in my mid-50s at the time (59 by the time the final cut came for me) and didn't think a massive recession was a good time to look. Take your pick. :-) [Plus, I really liked the company. Had been there longer than in any other job, and it was where I wanted to be when retirement came. Wasn't to be, however.]
