145 people have been laid off from my company. No deals were offered. I'm currently doing my senior paper on human resource sustainability. I'm hoping to get my degree before my turn comes. I've been in this company 24 years. I'm interested in hearing the comments.

I'd like to hear more about how this "share economy" is affecting workers across the United States. Have you been asked to cut your hours or accept a lower salary so that your employer can avoid layoffs?

My answer to your questions is yes and no. No, my number of hours is not cut and yes, pay increase this year is not possible so it is like accepting a lower salary job. Bottomline, I still have a job to pay all the bills.

At the company where I work, they laid off 40% of the # of workers. These workers a very small amount of termination money. Reduced number of work hours for us who were not laid off.

We've been told there will not be merit increases this year, tuition reimbursement has been capped, matching 401k contributions has been suspended, 10% of the workforce has been laid off, wellness programs have been suspended, employee appreciation events have been suspended or scaled back, and we have all had to take time off without pay. But none of us is complaining because we know it could be a lot worse.

My company tried to cut the lay off although it was inevitable. But to lessen the blow, we got to agree on ourselves that a little sacrifice from each of us(like all extra works are shared by the dept) so we could get through this crisis all alive.
