‘How much of a pay cut is the CEO taking?’: Employee drags company through the mud after they inform her of pay reduction due to company's 'financial struggles'

There is nothing more satisfying than reading a story about an employee who stands up to the corporation when it tries to do them wrong. And this Reddit story is, well, not quite that.

She answers the email with a sharp and criticizing response, airing out everything she thinks the company is doing wrong. Up until that moment, we were saluting OP for her bravery and confidence.
