I noticed there has been a considerable drop in salaries 15,000 to 20,000 per jobs and in some cases more I have been in Quality for 34 years and what used to pay 85 to 90 for a Quality engineer has now gone down to 70 to 80
And for a quality managers rule, which what used to be 100 to 115 has now gone to 90 to 95
I have been applying since April and I’ve had a couple significant bites, but nothing has come through as of yet

Yes, salary drops are common now for mid managers.this obviously does not impact senior management

It’s true. In my field, jobs that used to pay 225k are now paying 175k or less.

Companies are creating this narrative there are mass layoffs - which there aren’t compared to 2007/8 when there were like 700ķ jobs lost/month - to justify ripping new hires off.

So…how are we supposed to be surviving in America if jobs can’t even keep up with the housing market prices/ and rising food cost? If you’re seeing a considerable drop in salaries I just see concerns in future…maybe I’m overthinking.

That's what I mean like people can survive that. Though you want to go beyond that? Good luck… 😒

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
