Would you take a pay cut?

27 October 2008

Poll Started 28 Oct 2008: Would you take a pay cut to save your company? Due to the economic climate, your employer announces it needs to radically reduce its outgoings to keep the company's head above water. Reluctant to cut jobs, the boss sends a memo asking all 200 employees if they would agree to take a 10% pay cut, which should save 20 people from being made redundant. Would you agree to the pay cut?
