Would you stay if your CEO cut your salary by 45% and expected you to do the same work as before?
I would stay until I had an offer that was better.
What's the point of posting this? Are you expecting people to say yes?
The point is actually creating dialogue with people regarding the facts in the situation. Financial hardship combined with a situation like this isn’t black and white. Plus, the relationship with my CEO is volatile. During the offer to stay for the reduced rate, the CEO and VP spent an excessive amount of time saying my talent was impressive and they didn’t want to lose me...but a reduction of that level is sending a whole new message. Not to mention, this CEO has me working on a side business of his where he expects me to work on during “working hours.” Recently, his partner and I proposed a third person and myself getting contract hourly pay for working after hours (which I have to considering the time commitment and complex nature of the business) and that was shit down with a vengeance. I know I shouldn’t stay. I get that. What I’m trying to get here is some helpful advice to manage both the crippling thought of a pay slash, unknown financial future due to my house flooding, and feeling obligated to stay because of the operations support the company needs to stay strong during growth.
try to stay calm and realize there are plenty of idiots in power, you unfortunately are feeling the blunt end of their actions. stay and interview like no other while giving them smiles. then quit when you get an offer with no notice, cause fuck that insulting move
I'd give them a solid 22 hours a week and the rest of the time hunting hard
It happened to me, and I didn't stay
what reason did they tell you?
Sounds like the next release of the movie Office Space
Dont quit just work less while looking for a new job
All in job hunt, land in less than two weeks!
Work as little as possible and find a better gig. Hope you had flood insurance.
Hell no.
Lol wut?
Based the salary cut on inability to find viable leads (which were found but budget and in house talent lacks ability to effectively move further down the funnel) and perception that marketing is “mainly brand management.”
No I get it, of course I wouldn't stay.
