So, times are tough in the tech world and my company decided that in addition to no bonuses/ stocks for the foreseeable future, they also want to stop matching our 401k contributions.
They say this is temporary, but it’s already been 6 months. I’m in my early 30s, so I still have quite some time before retiring. These small differences now will compound in the long run, and I’m starting to think I should look for a new job.
Does my view of these small missed contributions actually being a big deal make sense, or is it something I should wait out?
Your employer says they can’t afford to keep up their end of the compensation bargain. There is a fair chance that layoffs will be coming down the road. There is never a bad time to test the market for your skills. This sounds like a very good time to do so.
