Reply #13: I'm having nothing but pay cuts here.

Same work, same hours as last year. So far they've taken away the stipend for running our school's website (that's now a volunteer service I perform), so that's over a thousand lost. I now teach more than full time hours without compensation (last year we were compensated for that.) Another thousand plus down the drain.

Now they are looking to give me another pay cut to fund other people's health care here, even though I get my health care through my spouse (and pay for it). Looks like I got another thousand or so in pay cuts coming due to that.

I suspect there's a few million of us taking pay hits though the work hasn't changed, getting laid off or fired, or getting hours cut. And then there's one guy at the top whose compensation has gone up by a few billion dollars, so on average, yeah, I could believe it went up 22%. It's kinda like how if I consume 30,000 calories in one glorious day of binging on cheesecake and snickerdoodles and 14 other homeless people go without any food on that day, on average, all 15 of us are well fed.
