    No not really. But they never said anything directly.

    To be honest, I dont see why they did it like that anyway as i had offered to take a pay cut already so. its just a mess like the rest of this country.

    Not seeing any posts like these from Public Sector workers.

    Strange isn't it?

    Hi,

    So you will go from £1,700 per month to £1,400 per month after tax.

    It's not the end of the world, I remember talking to my ex workmates whilst I was working there, that I'd rather we all had a 10% cut than face more redundancies (20% is quite steep though). As it were we didn't face any cuts and a few months later another 50 out the door (including me). It's tough finding work, best to take it on the chin and do what you can to cut back, earn extra in other ways or whatever you need to do.

    Yeh basically most of the directors have taken large pay cuts. Some up to 50%, some are working without a salary. Other people have taken similar cuts.

    Obvously the economic down turn being the main excuse.

    A load of people who work on the same areas have been made redundant.

    The directors may take some of their income as dividend income.

    Will you now qualify for Working Tax Credit? Or an increase in WTC? Or any other benefits?
