I just found out that my base salary is being reduced by 30%. I figured it was coming, the company is not doing great. The amount was higher than I expected. But the way they told me is what stings. The accountant was dropping off a letter in my inbox and said, “Oh by the way, the paycheck this week will reflect the pay change and will be X amount less.” Then he walked out. The same courtesy as, “Hey it looks like rain and your car windows are down.” I foolishly thought that it would come with a better discussion than that.
