MS ping
4.2 percent cut is not really much.
Take a look at what’s happening in the private sector. Most companies are completely dropping 401k matching and other benefits.
Govt jobs from the top down are way out of line as far as compensation.
LAst year, my wife took a 10% pay cut, followed by another 5% cut later in the year. Also the next 18 months, no money goes into her retirement, so the next 18 months don’t count toward her retirement.
It could be worse for your wife.
I’m sorry about her reduction in pay...but am so thankful she still has a job!
May I ask...did any stimulus money find it’s way there to “save” teaching jobs? Out here...in OR...the stimulus money “saved” teaching jobs. Of course, we are a blue state, so I don’t expect that MS got as much money as we did. And...the stimulus money to the states is about to run out.
Whatever will we do? lol
