Show Me the Money!

Posted June 01, 2009 7:52 AM

According to recent surveys of manufacturers, CFOs are saying no to raises this year, and yes to more job cuts. Official unemployment numbers are closing in on 10% in the U.S. (and as bad and worse elsewhere) and monthly job loss data shows the losses slowing, but at their worst levels in 25 years (if you ignore the last 18 months, each of which has been worse than any month in the past 25 years). So, are you willing to take a cut in pay, or go without a raise to help your company not cut jobs?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Industrial MRO, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Industrial MRO today.

I work for Aerotech Alloys, a supplier for the MRO industry, and I would much rather take a pay cut until the good times roll again.

I think a good company shares the wealth evenly, and the pain evenly.
