Not always because pay cuts come in many ways and even senior engineers do not see it, except after the fact or in the form of diffused pain they cant put a finger on.
- Example: Company says they still match 50% on 401k, but only on the first $3000 of contribution (basically, its 0.50 * 3/21). This is a hidden paycut.
- Example: Company offers new health plans with increased deductible/premium/copay/coinsurance. This is a hidden paycut.
- Example: Company says vacation days remain the same, but now need 3wks advanced approval, and then drag their feet in giving approval. This is a hidden paycut.
- Example: Company says they still reimburse for education/books/etc per offer letter, except require ever-greater detail/receipts and reject randomly for unknown reasons. This is a hidden paycut.
- Example: Company says they still reimburse for education/books/etc per offer letter, except reject randomly and then close out potential for reimbursement after 30days, forcing employees to eat the cost. This is a hidden paycut.
- Example (Actual one from Accenture): Company says worker in Manhattan should commute down to Trenton via train and then take a bus on NJ Transit daily. They will reimburse train, but not a rental car. Workers not wanting to spend 5-6hrs a day on the train pay for rental car out of pocket. This is a hidden paycut.
