I'm curious how many of you have lost your job long term or had your pay cut as a result of the covid pandemic?

30% paycut. Thank God it only lasted 6 weeks.

[MUDPT]

Also 30% pay cut. I work with COVID+ patients too.

Lost sales bonuses for the foreseeable future

7.5% paycut while keeping critical manufacturing plants up and running....and providing daycare for my two kids while my wife is working at her hospital

Not great, Bob!

No change in job, but guessing end of the year is looking more like Jam of the Month instead of a swimming pool.

I know a doctor who was an executive in an internationally-respected medical organization who still has a mullet.

And yes, he is aware that it is no longer in style. People constantly give him crap about it.

Wrong thread.   


Firefighting pays the same.

10% cut, plus new furloughs seem to be announced every Friday, have avoided those so far though.

[MUfan12]

Had a week "furlough." They allowed people to use vacation time, so I wasn't without pay.

[forgetful]

In general, I only have one friend/associate who has lost their job.

Many have had mandatory pay cuts. But most that I know are working longer hours then ever (just for less pay).

What it emphasizes, is that those most affected fall into two categories. The small business owner, and the low income wage earner.

Since the porn store closed, havent had much use for a jizz mopper, so I've been playing xbox and smoking weed.

With the booths, aren't you/they able to social distance?

[cheebs09]

7.5% and no 401K match, which makes it about 11% in total. It's open ended on when things will come back, but heard my company has been very fair in the past.

Hoping we all can get back to normal as soon as possible.

[BrewCity83]

No change.  I was told I was getting a 30% pay cut, but our business received an SBA loan in early April and the pay cut was rescinded before it was implemented.

[Hards Alumni]

No change, we pivoted our day to day and maintained our income streams.  We will have to go back to furloughing 60% of our employees in a few weeks when PPP runs out though.

Evers hates porn and nakedness.

[tower912]

A number of friends in the health care industry have been laid off.   My brother, who handles international sourcing for an auto supplier, has taken a 20% pay cut.   My kid's Catholic school is soliciting donations for some of the teachers negatively impacted.    Good friend is an independent financial advisor who has been unable to solicit new clients.

I jest in character, but my wife and i are both fortunate to not be affected by paycuts, furloughs or layoffs.

[Galway Eagle]

No effect, but did volunteer to do analytics for a second division of our company because we couldn't hire a new employee which now means I'm working two jobs for the price of one.

[jficke13]

No change, but there's a decent chance that fallout from the pandemic kills my firm. Candidly, I'll be surprised if we're a going concern at the end of the summer.

Same here and I agree with the sentiment.

My company output is down due to some machine operators staying home out of fear, customers who closed their facilities delaying shipments to them (i.e. any company in Mexico, my orthodontic customers), and suppliers temporarily closing delaying shipment to us and we expiring inventory in the interim (one of our metal suppliers is in Peru, country was shut for multiple weeks, our plated material supplier had an employee test positive and shut for 2 weeks).

We've been giving the operators who have been coming in an extra dollar an hour.

[mu_hilltopper]

20% pay cut.  About a dozen at our location were laid off permanently, another 10 furloughed.   Hourly folks work 4 days a week now.  Revenues are down 45%. 

I think certain areas, certain educational statuses .. live in bubbles.  I don't personally know anyone who has lost their job.  White-collar professionals aren't losing their jobs in large quantities -- yet. 

I believe the picture will be more grim in 180 days.

[pbiflyer]

So far, so good for me. Our local division of our company hit our first quarter numbers and will be close on Q2.  Since we sell mostly to government, I suspect that next fiscal year will be tough for us. We are providing COVID response support for free to various government entities, so maybe that will build good will with various government entities.
We tend to do layoffs and other cost cutting. I don't think we have ever cut salaries. Doubt that would be an option.
Our parent company is German, and our European counterparts are in much better long term shape.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Furloughed.

[Spotcheck Billy]

20% pay cut
