I Just Took a 5% Pay Cut

and it sucks!

I can usually expect my wages, weeks of work, and other details to look like
THIS.  However, last Spring, Client #2 cut four weeks of work from my normally six-week contract.  That's an 8% loss for me for 2011.  I was too shocked to blog about it.  In their defense, Client #2 was having severe financial difficulty.

And, NOW, my primary client just cut pay across the board by 5%.  Ugh.  Also, circumstances have conspired that I will lose a week of work for Client #3 because of a scheduling change by Client #2.

Okay, now I'm done ranting.

In brighter news, Client #2 is restoring four weeks of work to my contract for this Spring which roughly makes up for wages lost from other clients.
