When a company comes under financial stress, it absorbs those shocks through its capital or by restricting its expenses. Now employee salary is an expense, yes, but that’s where the exception comes in. The financial difficulties should never be cushioned by making pay cuts. Employees did nothing wrong to deserve that and if an employee is really flourishing and expecting a pay raise, doing something like this to them will make it really hard to retain the workforce. This is basically the organization not valuing its employees and the employees of any organization are its most significant asset.

Today we have a story about a criminal defense investigator who worked at a firm that paid him $30 per hour. One day, the bad boss decided to call the investigator up and told them they are going to cut his pay by $5 per hour because the firm is going through some financial difficulties. Without thinking twice, the employee decided to leave there and then. I mean, what else did the boss expect?

Scroll down below to read how it all went down.

1. OP was working with a firm that paid him $30/hour and kept the $10 as the total that came from the state was $40/hour.

2. OP was fine with $30 per hour because he would get paid on time and there were others benefits too that he enjoyed.

3. One day OP got told by his boss that she was going to cut his pay by $5 per hour. In response, he told her he was ready to leave then. This decision took the boss by surprise.

4. Turns out the firm decided to lock OP out of his email where all his cases were and the boss didn’t give him access to it which meant he couldn’t transfer all his work to his personal computer.

I am yet to discover what goes through these bad bosses’ minds when they take such decisions. This is no way to run a firm into success, but such measures will only lead it into a ditch. And then by not giving OP all his case work just goes on to show how much this firm values its employees. OP knows he is talented and will definitely succeed in his own venture.

Here’s what the internet had to say about this:

8. That would be a big mistake.

9. They really don’t understand the simplest of things like this.

10. OP knows his worth and that’s what matters the most.

Via elevencharles

11. Always.

Via elevencharles

12. The bad boss will always transfer the financial difficulties to their employees.

Via elevencharles

13. This is such a terrible business model.

Via elevencharles

14. She fully deserves it.

15. “Yet another” tells there are way too many bad bosses out there.
