'[They're] cutting my salary by $8k': Chef stunned that management is slicing paycheck by $200 per week to fix restaurant's plumbing

Should you ever stay in a job that tries to cut your pay? This chef is unsure what to do, and they're rightfully stunned by the situation their workplace has put them in.

In a post titled "Advice wanted," this person explained that they're a Philadelphia-based chef working at small Irish pub. And, they wrote, the owners have been hiring the cheapest plumber they can find. Now, the owners have realized the pub isn't up to code in any way, and to cut costs, they're bringing the problem to their own employees.

The gall that the owners have to insist their own employees take a pay cut is mind-boggling! As the OP, u/karatflowers, explained in the post and in comments, they have their reasons for not being able to quit right away. But I truly don't understand how most people wouldn't just quit right then and there. Losing $200 per week is a massive cut! It's very much a "The beatings will continue until morale improves" mentality. Best of luck to this OP in escaping a difficult situation.

Next up, these are some great examples of "hostile designs," made not to be comfy or welcoming, but to turn people away instead.
