Pay cuts are a disaster. The fact is that when there is brutal competition for resources, the people with docile obedient work forces win. Those with 10000 amateur economists working for them are in for a very bumpy ride. "They think we're grateful still to have a job". Try doing without one of those job things with a broken welfare state. Things have been so easy for so long, people have an enormous shock coming.

Looks like a Depression coming to me.
Not the first company doing this.
I was made redundant 3 months ago, employed in a healthy company that at the time were expanding. Starting a new job soon in a sector that will not be hit with such bomb shells.
It's not a question of just having a job now. More a question of what kind of job and in what sector.
Even temp employment agency's are quite.

Try living without a welfare state as most of the people on this planet has to, couple that with the fact that most people in this country have no savings and this could get really nasty. In the last depression people had savings to fall back on when there was no dole, I think you can imagine what happens when people try to cash their dole cheques only to find they bounce. I'm a contract worker and when I'm not working I fall back on my savings, the government appears to want to destroy those savings thus I will now need dole money if thats gone as well then god help us.

People used to grow their own food as well. 50% of Americans did in the last depression.
DIG FOR VICTORY!! Wholefoods are so much better anyway.
