Simple and straight forward. Anonymous poll. Have you lost your job or had your salary cut due to the economy?

Um where is the poll?

At any rate I have not lost my job or had wages cut. Others have not been so fortunate, but I'm the only man in a 2,500 strong company that understands research.

Them's the breaks I guess.

I consider myself fortunate to still have my position (expanded responsibilities actually....but due to other exits / departures). Salaries are frozen however until further notice.

No effect to me yet, though Q1-Q2 might not go so well...

I got das boot a month after being told my job was safe. Weeks later my former boss claimed I OWED HIM for COBRA heath coverage! The second of the two partners hid in his office during the process, he couldn't face me.

No job loss or pay cut, but Florida state employees haven't had a raise in five years.

Frankly most of us don't deserve one.
