Entire team asked to take 70% pay cut after incompetent boss messes up contract negotiation: 'Virtually nobody is accepting this insulting offer'

Imagine your boss getting your entire team together and then casually asking all of you to take a massive pay cut. 

It's possible that you've been in a similar situation, where you have been encouraged to "take one for the team," so to speak. But here's the truth: taking a pay cut is far from taking one for the team. It's taking one for the boss, who likely has not been asked to do the same. In this specific instance, how could you be taking one for the team if the entire team is getting hurt by this new policy? 

Thankfully, in this case, the Redditor and their team members refused to go quietly. Folks in the comments seemed to relate deeply to the position of being faced with such a ridiculous ask by an employer. Keep scrolling below for their reactions.
