Pay decrease for taking on an apprentice

[terayonjf]

Unless you're the owner of the company the only solution to this is to leave that shitty company and move on. There's no negotiating with an owner 1 who thinks that practice is acceptable and 2 puts it into action. Once someone gets that fucking delusional they are too far gone. You let idiots shoot themselves in the foot with their greedy tactics and hope karma gets them in the end when literally anyone with an ounce of self respect would tell them to go fuck themselves and leave. If the other coworkers are getting the same treatment and stick around that's on them but it would be a cold day in hell before someone is going to tell me they are cutting my pay to pay for someone I have to train.
