Boss asks employees to take $5,000 out of each paycheck to be team players: 'My management actually has the nerve to ask me to be paid less'

Imagine gathering for a company meeting and hearing about all the great work everyone's doing, only to be asked to take massive pay cuts. 

This was not exactly the greatest display of a healthy company culture. Essentially, this executive at the company, who rarely shows her face and has next to no relationship with the Redditor and the other coworkers on their team, decided that the best way for the company to remain healthy was for everyone to elect a certain amount of money to be deducted from their paychecks. She even had the nerve to say good team players could choose to take up to $5,000 out of their checks. How about $0, ma'am?

Some folks in the comments section were intelligent enough to demand that the Redditor ask how much money executives at the top will be taking out of their paychecks. After all, shouldn't they be team players too? Keep scrolling below for the full saga. When you're done, take a look at this post about a boss who called out their employee's lack of professionalism.
