Today, I had my six month employee review. My manager said that my attendance was good, and I was exceeding my targets performance wise. My reward, a five cent per hour pay cut. Apparently the rate at which I started is too high to meet their current pay scale. FML

Today, I found out I'm getting a pay cut, a week after I told my boss I need a raise or second job just to afford bills. I made the company 10k last week. FML

Today, my boss offered me a 3% "raise" with new commission targets. Consequently this "raise" would result in my income being reduced by a third. Apparently, if I can reach my current targets, they're too easy. So, as a reward for being great at my job, I get a reduced salary. FML

Today, after 3 years at my job I received a 14% raise. I was informed I will be transitioned from hourly to salary. I will now be making $1500 LESS than I made last year. FML

Today, after working 85 hours in a single week, I finally got my paycheck. $500. Apparently I got a pay cut without anyone telling me. FML

Downsizing awaits
Today, I got a 25-cent raise at work. That would be wonderful, had they not cut 6 hours off my schedule as well. I'm now making $200 less a month than I was pre-raise. FML

Today, my manager did that thing where he gave me a performance-based bonus last month, but deducted the bonus from this months pay. He didn’t even try to hide it, it said in plain English "Amount deducted for previous performance bonus." FML

Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML

Today, my boss complained about how his performance bonus is too small, as he expected it to be the total amount accrued rather than a percentage. He also made the decision to not give any of the employees profit sharing this year, because the company didn't beat the budgeted increase in profits. FML

Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML

Is the OP implying that his colleagues didn't get a pay cut and he was the only one who did because he performed well?

Pictures this: You live in a high income area, and work your ass off so that you can keep your house. You take a pay cut, despite doing an amazing job. This pay cut means you can no longer afford your rent/mortgage. You lose your house. Okay, but you still have a job, right? Except that now you have to drive 60 miles to get to work because thats the only affordable place you could find, only you can't really afford that either because gas prices are so high and there's no other way to commute that distance. No buses or trains running in the right direction. So you end up having to quit your job because there just isn't a way to survive with it. I've seen it happen to two good friends of mine.

What do you expect for only meeting 75% of the goals?

lmao. If you value your time and sanity, start jobhunting every day off you can (and if you work in an office, at work too). I can't say just quit, everyone's situation is different, but you're on the fast track to being a working loser and the only way out is shopping your skills around.

3 outa 4 is 75%. 75% is a C grade. you can't get into a college with a C grade. you can't get a 5 digit paycheck without a decent education. which means that you wouldn't of had a job in the first place if that was school. which means you should stop complaining and try harder. YDI
