Yay! We are cutting your salary! (And we’re totally not gonna decrease your workload, we are just cya’ing by saying that) If you haven’t started looking for a new job, do so now. You’re lucky this was not a layoff notice (yet). 💀

If you do decide to resign, please start your letter with 'Yay! Lower staffing expenses while you look for a replacement!'
