‘You got what you asked for’: CEO announces a 15% pay cut for every employee as a way to ‘reduce costs’, resulting in mass walkout by all employees

One of the best ways to determine whether a company is overall a good company, specifically with how the employees are treated, is by checking how long the employees have been there. If the company has existed for longer than 10 years and no employee has been there for more than a year, then something must be wrong.

The employee in this Reddit story has been feeling that something is wrong with the company for quite some time. Mostly because of the CEO, who has been treating OP (original poster) and the rest of his employees extremely poorly. What really tipped OP over the edge was when the CEO announced a 15% pay cut for everyone in the company in order to 'reduce costs'. OP and the rest of the employees decided they had enough, and started helping each other to find new jobs while planning a mass walkout when they were all ready to leave.
