Entire firm is taking a 10% hair cut right off the top in terms of salary reduction. We are also going to a 3 day work week which means an additional 40% reduction in salary. This is going to be in place for at least the next 4 months and has to go into effect by the end of April or the business will go under.

And fucking government employees aren't going to miss a fucking paycheck, in fact with the stimulus fraud they just passed many people working in government are going to see an increase in their pay. Just put my property taxes in the mail yesterday. Fucking schools and government offices that I'm paying for aren't even open and yet I'm still expected to pay for these fuckers to sit home and draw a full paycheck and benefits.

Sorry kids, no piano lessons, no summer camp this year. Daddy has got to pay the salary of a fucking government bureaucrat.

    Look it could be worse, I could be like the millions who are completely out of a job. I at least have a job. It's just a job where my base salary has essentially been cut in half. Show me the fucking government employee who is making that same sacrifice.
    I see this coming in my shop too. This is no longer funny.

    I took a 35% hair cut. It could EASILY get worse.

    Thank God I don't have a young family to care for, its just me. Agree with creepy, it's no longer funny.

    Mine aren't young, but one just got into grad school and one is a rising senior at a small private liberal arts college back east.

    There's money set aside, but I need to retain some liquidity. Are the kids going to defer next year or what? I'm loathe to sell my equity at these fire sale prices and compromise my retirement.

    The one saving grace I have is this: I've played it relatively safe with my house. Throughout the years, I've had people and their fucking opinions tell me what I should buy. Saying I should buy up or live here or live there. We bought a house in the city a few years back, but went conservative and only bought up in price a little. House is paid for. So I don't have a mortgage hanging over my head. I'm glad I've been fiscally conservative for the most part. Will continue to look at outflow. Like, do I need to insure three fucking cars at this point when nobody is driving anywhere? May drop that to one and suspend the others. There are other things you don't need and it adds up.

    The thing that's a bitch, though, is what Bob pointed out: the motherfucking tax man keeps coming no matter how bad shit gets.

    Hang in there. There's no fucking way the people are gonna sit still for 18 months of this shit. It just won't work.

    Maybe you should work for the government?

    That's fucking huge. It shouldn't be understated. It's a huge advantage over the crowd.

    I started hearing it referenced a few years ago. School admins like to use it, it seems.

    I think the "compromise" will come in the form of people wearing masks everywhere except for when they're dining at a restaurant. That will appease most of the hand-wringers and enable the nation to get back to working and living

    The Throbber was speaking in general terms about 'rising seniors' not the specific swarthy offsprings.

    The Throbber does not want to end up on the horse-head-in-his-bed side of @creepycoug . No disrespect to the young lass intended.
