5. The board of directors has decided that for the fourth time in four years, to change the way in which you report performance.
6. To keep up, you will have to work even more overtime than you already do, which you don't get paid for.
What would your response be? I know what mine would be.

- 100% is a pretty massive pay cut, preceded by years of 0-2% raises.
- Before getting laid off myself, I survived numerous rounds of layoffs that were all accompanied by the same "we have to do more with less" message.
- Using software that was at least 5 years out of date and no hardware upgrades for 7 years. I've had to download trial software just to be able to open files supplied by outside sources in order to save to a lower version that my software could actually open.
- Must be nice to have a spending budget without having to grovel for any discretionary spending.
- Yup.
- See point #2.
What would my response be? Looking for a new job, not by choice. Thanks for asking.
