I‘m thinking of ditching my very safe and very well paid office job with the option to work from home for a job in the field where I drive around and inspect buildings. Taxes included I’d get a 300€ paycut but would gain the ability to get paid for overtime, which I do not have at the moment. Also, due to austerity measures I have no chance of ever getting into a higher position at my current job.
I don’t know maybe I just want the validation of something I’ll do anyway, maybe I want to get shown what makes my current job better than the might-be one.
Sorry, English isn’t my native language. I had seen paycut used as “the cut of the pay you get from a job”, i.e. your salary, when expressed as a percentage. I didn’t realise paycut could be used as salary reduction.
Interesting. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard it used outside of like a crime gang in a movie after they finish a job - “here’s your cut (of the overall package)”, etc.
I’d be kinda pissed if they only gave me a cut (partial) of my pay. Language is fun and English sucks lol
