I'm curious, has any salaried employees been asked to take a pay cut over the last 2 years. Operations has been asked to ignore outages, stop requesting GC work, stop ordering parts, reduce the number of people on call, change the way we drive, change how far we can drive, and the most impactful to our live$ is...reducing overtime to none. I always hear the people on salary tell us why these things are necessary to transform the way we do business. But I'm guessing their pockets haven't been affected yet. Other than layoffs, who else is taking one for team? Anyone?

The previous comment is what bothers me. One area can't spend a dime and others keep rolling along BAU. It's almost like they want some markets to fail, probably the Nokia markets.
I get tons of overtime. All that I want as it is available on my team. I got burnt out and I'm taking a break from the many hours of available overtime for now. I will get back on the overtime gravy-train next month.
Sure many teams are getting cuts. Others get no overtime at all. That is a shame but that is just part of life.

What is OT?
as much as it su-ks...just remember OT shouldnt be relied upon. Its one of the first things they do to cut costs...
Yes. Only the pay cut came in the form of unnecessary expenses due to being sent back to work in an office 40 miles away, with no compensation or explanation
I'm in operations (not field) too and I agree. The salaried leaders should be sodo--zed. I'll wrap mine in barbed wire first. God I wish.
Plenty of demotion + pay cuts during during 2023 RIF... a few that I know ended up taking the severance instead and leaving
I know of a number of Sr. Managers demoted and kept at the same pay. Too much HR paperwork to do a pay cut....unless they moved you from Seattle to OP
That will never happen!!! Everyone is trying to make a name for themselves, trying to get to Hawaii. Let's stop some of these awards programs.
During last year’s RIF, people were demoted with pay cuts.
