Seriously? Have you tried discussing the issue with anyone at work? Thank you it's okay I decided to use this time to get out of my comfort zone and explore new options.

my company is only 13 people. I've talked to one coworker about it but he also quit recently. The president of our company knows that we are doing better than last year so I'm not sure why we are cutting pay. He released a company email saying that our business was down and that he needed to cut salries to save the business. but like I said, I see the numbers and we are doing better We are also on pace to do better next year too. We have higher customer bookings than we had this year. I've started looking but it's hard because it seems like there isn't much open

Is taking some online courses to up your skills make you more of an asset a possibility? Maybe that could help raise it back up?

i have a degree in business so i have been looking more in anything computer related or business you of course have to be careful stick to companies you know or reputable job sites and of course if they want money it's not something you want to get into. But I do alot of call center type stuff or data entry. Coding is real big right now and there are alot of online courses you can take for free it's really just up to you what do you like to do or what would you like to do. Right now the possibilities are endless

That's a good idea, I'll look into coding. I've been thinking about changing careers for a long time and maybe this is the catalyst I need.
