	Moet seker heng moeilik wees om 'n 25% pay cut te vat, ek sal nie kan nie

	this generic 10%, 20% pay cuts companies implement is a complete load of crap. In any company there are many people that earn well above the mean and below the mean (for similar positions or responsibilities) Point is , people are over and under paid. This was a chance to fix that by applying larger pay cuts to people out of line with their position. Once you cut someone that is already underpaid , they will just leave when the first opportunity comes. People that know they’re overpaid , can’t go anywhere and will absorb the cuts In the lions case , I would rather cut Janine du Plessis by 50% , vs expecting someone like Carly Sadie taking one
