If it were me, I would say that I'm happy to work extra hours at my normal rate, but that I won't take on more hours with a pay cut. "No" is a very powerful word. It is against the law for them to pay less than minimum wage unless you have a very specific situation like you are a waitress or get room and board. In your state, it may also be against the law for them to not pay you time and a half for more than 40 hours in a week. Not sure what your state laws are. If you take on extra overtime hours, they should be increasing your hourly rate, not decreasing it. That's fucked up. |

In negotiations, if you've let the first mention of something pass, without having a visceral reaction, then it is now believed that there is some chance that you will be "okay" with this. Coming back later and saying "I've thought it over and I disagree with this" just doesn't have the same impact.

Better watch that. With high unemployment, there might be somebody just waiting to get a prime job like that.

Or a former PA state employee. There'll be 1,500 of them fighting for her job.
