Yeah, I had been wanting a good paid search engine for ages since I didn’t like being google’s product or watching as their search got worse for my use cases over time. I pay for K…

There is a lot of value in learning things the hard way vs the easy way if there is no real significant harm caused, I think. In many cases you learn more or gain a deeper understa…

I get that losing access to things you got used to sucks. At the same time, IMO, this post comes across quite entitled and whiny. Nobody owes you anything, specially not free hosti…

See you later alligator!

This genuinely seems useful. I’ll give it a shot. Nice!

Could you disable the favicon changing all the time? It's crazy annoying

I’d be interested in proof of me fishing for sympathy here. Does stating a situation count as fishing? I’ve made no requests for help beyond info around the situation. Sometimes pe…

Leadership took a 15% pay cut a bit before ours was announced. They said it was to avoid impacting employees but then they did anyway, so my confidence in their promises is quite l…

It's not quite that simple.

How did the pay cut influence your quality of life during those months?

Equity would definitely soften the blow. But yeah, nothing for us.

I am unsure if 10% cut would be covered by dropping an office. The area is very affluent and exclusive. Note that it is a pretty small company.

People here earn enough for the food to not be on their radar. I guess the office/food is symbolic, though I do understand real estate is hard to get rid of. They could rather have…

This is the case. There is a safety net with refusing to sign so it's a choice between betting on the company or winging it and hope they keep to their end of the law. If they fire…

One year is a long time. Did they give raises at that point too?

Did those companies perhaps recover or did it go further south?

Thank you. I'm not bothered about the company, though I do like the employees and the work. I'm trying to find the best way forward mid-long term for me. The company won't think tw…

Hmm. Where did that end up? Did the pay cuts alleviate over time or did those people get laid off when the company did worse?

Thanks. That's a new way of looking at it for me. No form of compensation was offered other than "wait and see." So I don't feel confident that they will make up for it if things d…

Fortunately I am not employed at-will but I do honestly think that answer is genuine.

I would love to know how people at the company feel about this in terms of morale. It's hard to bring this stuff up. I would rather be laid off than have this because there's at le…

Hi! My employer recently announced a 10% pay cut across the board. Where I live(South Africa), employee consent is required. The company sent out a document asking us to sign in ag…

This is quite an adversarial take. The author's follow-up replies are also hostile and dismissive. Smells like the sort of thing LinkedIn"fluencers" would post. Good luck to whoeve…
