I am really worried because my job is considering asking us working class folks to take a 10% pay cut and to not work (and not get paid) during the winter holidays. That means I will have a hard time trying to save up for the one week that I will be forced to take time off. I can't afford to take a 10% decrease in pay. I have so many bills its angering they don't want to take the money from management. Please pray they don't do this. I can't afford this without cutting into the food budget, or cost get to work... or childcare... My son and I need to eat but because they are in a budget crises they want to tax homeowners, take away salaries, let people go... they have already cut city programs to try to get within budget. This will only hurt the economy in the long run. I spent my money in this city and so the city gets the tax dollars. they will have less 10% less tax dollars if they cut our salaries.

am a single working mom with a lot of bills. sorry if i'm venting.. I have been praying to God all weekend for an answer to this stress.
