The reason my boss gives is, she dosn't feel my worker is giving the job her best...or, that my worker has the right attitude. I know my boss is wrong on both counts....in fact, I know the top boss is simply lookingfor ways to save money in the company....in my opinion, there are other ways to save ....in my opinion, this move only diminishes everyones desire and drive in the company.
Here are my questions. If you were in the position I describe would you (a) look for a new job immediately (b) contact the boss directly to discuss this issue.
How would this make you feel ? Would you feel that you were not a valued employee ? Would this hurt your self esteem ?
Thanks !

Speak with your boss and ask why she feels that the employee's performance is substandard. There may be some good reasons. (If you're the supervisor and did the review, she should have explained this when she cut the person's wages, but that's another topic.) If there aren't, then you'll have to decide whether you can live with the situation or quit.
When I first took one management job, I had different expectations than the supervisors, who had been there for some time. It took some time to teach them how to evaluate their employees according to the new requirements. In the meantime, they sometimes disagreed with me.
Yes, it does diminish the employee's desire. However, the boss is obviously not concerned with that. If the person's performance is genuinely poor, this may be an attempt to persuade the person to quit rather than fire her.
Does it demotivate other employees? Not necessarily. It would if this is a regular occurrence. It won't necessarily if its a one-off event. Sometimes it has the opposite effect. I've seen morale increase after I've fired someone for poor performance. It's not just the boss who sees that. Co-workers do, too.

You and your worker should look for new jobs. If you don't have input into what your people are paid or performance reviews you aren't valued either. The worker could quit and collect unemployment for a pay cut. Since the company is cutting payroll expense your pay won't increase much so it is time to move on.

basically 5 to 7 circumstances greater? i think of in case you seem back the type is bigger then that. I examine a pair of learn the place in international places like Japan and Germany you have an person-friendly of around 11 circumstances greater. the U. S. became into way bigger then that. Its greed run amock and we are reducing our very own throats by employing no longer being waiting to alter it. the element that made this u . s . a . solid became into the midsection classification and thanks to out of control greed the midsection classification is being destroyed. the U. S. is on its thank you to starting to be a Banana Republic considering that's the place you have a similar variety of unfold in wealth which you're seeing right here interior the U. S.. individually i do no longer see how companies can justify paying their suitable human beings lots. With the variety of money a number of those men are making the enterprise ought to enhance their kit, decrease the value of their product, make investments greater in R&D, in short accomplish that lots greater to offer a bigger, greater value-effective product which strengthens the enterprise and delivers greater desirable to the helpful inventory holders you're constantly listening to approximately. And one greater element, there ought to be human beings to do the artwork. that would not cause them to ignorant, or lazy, or basically enthusiastic approximately beer and lottery tickets. no longer anyone is shrink out for or want to alter right into a enterprise proprietor or a md. the user-friendly workers are those that help the "bosses" get prosperous and could be compensated for it. There are different measures of fulfillment then money.

I would choose (b) first, but be careful about how you go about it. If you get the boss at the wrong time or you go barging into her office complaining, you're not going to get a good response from her.
Make sure you time it right and you discuss it with her on an "unemotional" level and bring her a better solution so you don't come across as a complainer.

I think you should talk to your boss because if they were my best worker I'd fight for them. Otherwise yes, you will have an angry hurt and undervalued employee to deal with. In the end that is a reflection of you and moral is hard to raise when everyone is questioning their value.

Now is the time to go job hunting. You find this action distastful, and your enthusiasm for the job has been damaged.It's easier to find a job when you HAVE a job.
Consider this, you boss could have terminated her ( and you) but he chose to cut her pay.Isn't that giving her a break?
Just remember, the top boss has to do what he feels is necessary, not just what is popular.

I do not think they can reduce the hourly rate arbitrarly like you described. He must provide written notice.
If he based it on performance, As her supervisor you write her performance reviews, you described her as one of your best workers so her reviews would reflect this. So the boss has no proof that she is slacking off or has the wrong attitude.
I would suggest you both look for a new job, and advise her to check with a lawyer.

I would do both A and B.
Anytime you get a pay decrease, it will hurt your morale. It will kill your self esteem and morale if you are being told you are doing a good job and get a pay decrease due to 'poor work performace'.
I don't think anyone wants to work for a company that doesn't appreciate you.

Sure it would hurt. The employee has to self-evaluate at this point to make sure she was giving 100%. She needs to be brutally honest with herself.
Then if she feels it truly was not her fault, she should begin looking for other employment.

aren't you the boss..you say one of your workers...I would think that would show you have no real authority in your currrent position.
Plus, you can't just go around lowering salaries.
