Who's expecting a paycut this year and how will it effect you? Me, I expect a paycut of 6,000+ US dollars. I have anticipated trimming beer and netflix allowance, driving my car for 2+ more years, and trimming my rc collection from 6 to 4, cutting XM radio, and some more. Why am I more depressed..................hmmm I wonder. Sometimes I hate being a blue collar hands on laborer.
 
Well, being a white collar worker, I get no raise this year, even though the company had record revenues. So just waiting to see if there will even be a bonus. If it doesn't get better based off managements expectations, next year we'll probably see one or all of the following: layoffs, paycuts, or forced vacations (unpaid). What really sickens me is that we have tons of people in our IT area contracted in India and a bunch more just working in the office here. Cheaper supposedly. :(

i second that as well. im a contractor with 2 sources of income. and neither one have let up. i do fire/water restoration for insurance comp... its sad to see the fire resto's, but they pay and pay well. in the winter time when most contractors are laid off or home siting on the couch, my phone don't stop ringing as thats when most fires and water damage happens(fire places/wood stoves/frozen pipes). the other part of my company does rental property maint for the frat houses and college dorms at penn state university. those kids can destroy anything. i get swamped at the end and the begining of the school year.. nothing but painting. 1 house= 2.5days labor. $2500.00minus$300 in materails and labor.. i can do 3 houses per week. i cant add very well, but my wife says its enough..


i live in a bubble and was un aware of the economic down fall.. sorry guys:D
