When your manager comes to you and says that you need to be willing to take a paycut in order to stay competitive with AI, how are you replying?

They are nicely telling you they cant afford you and cuts are on the way.

I'd say, Please send me this request in writing, so I can make a formal consideration. :) 99% chance they will drop the topic. On the 1% chance they are dumb enough to put it into email, I will have the documentation to CYA if they try to fire me over refusing a pay cut. Meanwhile, I'm applying for other jobs with an urgency.

I'm assuming there are filters on this app that would prevent me from typing out how I would respond to being told that. Seriously, I'm getting tired of AI being the Swiss Army Knife of excuses. Upper management is convinced they can do whatever they want to do anyway, but just say it's because of AI and people will buy it.

I am taking that as a big red flag and looking for a new role. Nobody is taking a pay cut in this economy. If they are saying that, then cuts are coming, so it is time to start looking and get ahead of it.

Pay cut? 🤣🤣🤣

That’s crazy
