Is it stupid for me offer a pay cut to keep my job and benefits? Would the agency higher ups be even open to that if offered? I know it might sound stupid, but just thinking about my family.

The higher ups should be the ones taking a pay cut for the sake of their people. Anyone making over $200,000 should have a pay hold to make $200,000 max for the duration of this thing. Will save the company so much money

Transparency would be a good thing. This is a national crisis and a health crisis too. The more people lose their homes, the more people move around from lace to place, the worse the health crisis gets. Pay cuts across the board are a way better solution for times like this. Public and private sector need to work together to make sure more people can make enough to keep food on the table and a roof overhead. This means pay cuts instead of layoffs, it means the banks being told that in exchange for the 2008 bailout they are going to have to defer mortgage payments or refinance for lower salaries. This is all stuff a functioning government would be discussing. It is a shame we don’t have one.

I might be wrong but I don’t think one person getting a pay cut will make a big enough difference in their books. Unless you make a billion dollars.
