I have been in a similar situation and trust me dont believe any of it.

We went into a 90 day consultation period for a 12.5% pay cut at my work, this was to avoid redundancies.

The majority agreed to the paycut............however within 1 week of the end of the consultation period the first round of redundancies has already come and 25 people have gone......their payout was based on the 12.5% less salary they agreed to 1 week earlier.

Those who did not agree to the paycut had their contracts terminated, they were offered new contracts at a 15% paycut and told to except it or leave.

For me.....I firmly believe you have to look after number one....yourself, like you I knew I was 110% safe and could play the game.

I did not agree to the paycut because I make the company 500% profit on my costs whilst other people sit around doing absolutely nothing, I also simply could not afford it. I looked for another job and got one with a 30% pay increase and a better car.

Amusingly as soon as I resigned the company were willing to give me a payrise and whatever else they had to do to retain me...yet weeks earlier the paycut was across the board no exceptions.

So for me there is no dilemma, Lissa you have to look after yourself...... everybody is in a different situation and will view it differently though I guess.
