[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP is exaggerating here. First, she makes it sound like MB decided she pay her half her salary since that's all they could afford. Poor Cinderella! Then we come to find out they are paying her normal hourly rate at half the amount of hours. Then we find out that half time is what most people call a full work week anyway. (7 hours a day) so it's not as if she's not working a full day. 
As far as not getting a good reference - I'm going to assume that was misinterpreted since OP seems to play the victim card a lot. [/quote]

This poster brings up some great points. OP's original post made it sound like her employers were still making her work her usual hours for 1/2 the pay. The cut in hours (and thus pay) was more likely due to not needing her the insane number of hours since her MB is home now (as well as wanting to save some money). Granted, any pay cut hurts so I get OP's frustration over this. However she has a lot more free time now, and it sounds like she wasn't crazy about working 13-14 hours/day.

I still think OP needs to quietly start looking for a new job, but mainly b/c it's unlikely her MB will find a new job in the next month considering the average time it has been taking people who have lost their jobs to find a new job lately. OP will likely need to realize that she's in for a pay cut even with a new job unless she a) finds a new job that requires as many hours...which is a crazy amount of hours or b) finds a new job with a much higher hourly wage to make up for the fewer amount of hours.
