Unbelievable

My local staff is quitting it appears, last sec. just resigned on the spot.

The completely idiotic scum that I work for uniltateraly changed their compensation from USD to local currency (which is not fixed against USD). Despite the fact of contracted salaries in local, and did not bother to inform anyone. My assistant (who's leaving anything) happened to notice despite an augmentation, she got less in the account. And then they came clean.

First, it suggests more serious financial problems than I had previously suspected. Second, it's simply illegal.

I'm now literally trembling with anger on their behalf. I have never, ever seen anything quite like this. (Well, not w someone I draw my salary on).

Trembling with anger on their behalf?

Maybe you'd better check your balance, just to be safe!

I get USD compensation, which is not the best thing, but as contracted.

They're getting pig fucked. Their contracts were set in local currency, and everyone all around knew the deal.

Frankly they have cause for action.

Sounds rather dodgy, even for them.

How long until you're selling financial products from the trunk of your car?

i trust you have their contact info to hire them back at a future date and different titanic?

i've heard of dirty play before (such as vacation days and sick days coming from the same pool) but never have i heard of something like this!
