The more I think about it, the angrier I get - 2
Previous story: I'm a breakfast shop manager. At the end of July, sales were really bad, and the boss was unhappy with my management style. So, I proactively offered to take a pay cut. The boss seemed hesitant and said we'd reconsider the pay cut later. Main story: It's early September, the day before payday. The boss called me in for a talk and said, "We discussed lowering your salary at the end of July, so starting with your August paycheck, I'm cutting your salary by $3000." "!!!??? You never said that!!!" "Didn't we talk about it at the end of July? I told you!" "Huh!?!!! You didn't say that!" "Call Dora. He was there that day. Ask him and have him be a witness." Dora is the boss's beloved pet. Whatever Dora says, the boss agrees. Fortunately, they hadn't colluded beforehand, and Dora's testimony matched mine. "Okay, since Dora says there was no discussion, then there was no discussion." What does that even mean!? You don't believe me, but you believe Dora? As expected of Dora! "So, starting in September, your salary will be cut by $3000, you'll keep doing the same work, and you'll also have to help with the tasks of the colleague who quit last week." I'm someone who reacts slowly. At the time, regarding what the boss said, I actually hadn't planned to change anything. I thought, 'Okay, my salary is just decreasing, I'll just keep doing what I was doing.' But today, I suddenly had an awakening! Why should I do the same work after getting a pay cut? And do the work left by my former colleague? I'm not writing down any to-do lists! I'm so angry! If you don't agree with my management style, then I don't need to write down any to-do lists either! End Thanks for listening to me vent 🙏

This kind of dishonest and logically contradictory management style is indeed unbearable. Since the other party cannot give you the respect and fairness you deserve, choosing to stop over-investing is a wise decision. Please be sure to direct this resolve towards something more worthwhile.

Isn't it normal to do as much work as you're paid for? Then just do a little less for yourself~

Good job.

Try filing a labor arbitration. Reducing salary without any written notice seems to be a breach of contract, right?

Keep it up! Nobody is born a natural manager. Listen more, observe more, and learn more.
