A "pay cut" is a cut in pay. That's different from a "salary cut". I retired from a company with a similar incentive package as apple - salary, bonuses, and stock options. When my total compensation dropped from one year to the next, even when no fault of my own, I suffered a "pay cut". I had less money to spend, even though my salary stayed the same or even increased. That's life.

No use arguing with him ,, it’s him and Apple against the world and if you’re not a raving fan you’re against “them”. I believe Swordmakers motto is “I may not always be right but I’m never wrong.”.
