My boss called me in for a chat today and basically said that all management were taking a pay cut and that would have to include me and that I needed to go away and think about it. He said that he was very happy with what I was doing but that there was no product marketing and I explained that this is because I am not a product marketeet and it's a specialist skill etc. He said they though they needed to get a product marketeers help a couple of days a week. The long and the short of it is that he told me to go away and think about it and talk to DH and let's meet again next week and in one breath he says it's not definite and in another he says that if they can't reduce my operating costs then they will have to replace me ! He even suggested that I consult for one day a week with another IT company and reduce my time and therefore costs here. The market is so bad though there's nothing.
I feel thoroughly depressed. DH and I can't afford for me to drop a day. My mum has had to go part time on her job to help us with looking after DD and I need to pay her because she still has a mortgage to pay etc so we agreed that she would go part time and I would pay her instead of a nanny. Just recently she's increased it by another day so that dd doesn't go to Jigsaw anymore and my mum has her. This makes me feel awful because not only will it affect our finances but my mum's too. It's such a mess. I feel so fed up.
I know we can cut back I am just not sure we can do enough to make the difference. My salary still pays half the mortgage.
Thanks for listening ladies, I needed to vent.
