In my 20 years (not MS) we've had 2-3 temporary pay cuts during downturns to avoid layoffs -a 5% pay cut sucks but the job you save may be your own. In 20 years I've seen somewhere around 200,000 of my co-workers RIF'ed, 10,000 on the day I was hired. The company has always made it's numbers, the CXOs have always been paid more than my life's total income and yet they always ask us to do more for less. I'd like to finish out my career here but it does appear that the grass is greener and despite what I think and how I feel the company won't care and will be fine without me. Everyone should remember that.
