What is the lowest amount you would take as a software engineer? I just got a pay decrease because he said I never told him I didn't have a degree...yet I told him numerous times Im still in school.

For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Ah buddy. I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you. First thing you need to remember is: he was always going to do this. The excuse is for him not you. It's a platitude to make it easier on him. Potentially worse it's to make you feel insecure, and he can keep some sort of control over you.
I'd bet of he found you actively looking for work, he'd point out your 'lack of qualifications and or ability', and tell you you're better off there, and to watch your step or you'll end up with nothing.
The thing you need to do is -
Get another job. Doesn't matter where.
It's all bullshit. Don't put up with this crap.
Thanks, man. I'm actively looking for new opportunities as we speak.
Nice one.
Red flag; for real.
Get out of there.
Already trying!!
Basecamp is 100% remote and pays in the top 10% of silicon valley salaries - they recommend businesses pay top dollar regardless of where their employees live.
Maybe checkout weworkremotely.com, and I highly recommend their books"Remote", "Rework", and "It doesn't have to be crazy at work"
I won't "last long" because I won't the pay he stole from me and for cutting my pay with a bogus reason attached??
I guess Jorge meant that you will quit soon with this kind of treatment.
Oh, ok.
I once took an $8/hour dev job. If that helps.
I'm slightly above that. Went from 11-9. This sucks! We do so much but get so little...😞
Oh that sucks. There are a lot of better paying jobs out there bro. You are better than what you think you are.
Thanks, bro.
This isn't helpful.
They won't last long at that company (hopefully because they're looking for better opportunities) but there's plenty of room for a work/life balance in this "business".
They are looking for excuse to cut wages, leave.
That's what I was told as well.
I really thought you meant you didn't believe they were going to be a good developer because they didn't just accept it and roll over!
I would have walked, right then and there. There are plenty of developer jobs out there not to have to deal with that.
Out of curiosity, it is a corporate type company you work for, As normally corporate companies will pay employees with degrees, more then employees without one, despite experience or ability.
It is. But, he knew I didn't have a degree when he hired me, nor does half the ppl that work there. That's why I'm shocked that's his excuse.
