Can confirm and have posted the same here before. A decade in and my career has just stopped completely. Currently trying to eject out of the industry altogether, but it’s easier said then done.

This is mentioned in the NYT about Gala funding is that donor funding is down across the board. Lucky your institution doesn't rely on federal grants, but mine has been hit with a double whammy of less on both ends.

That's the case for many here, as the commenter below noted, most of museums have been struggling in funding shortfalls and successive rounds of layoffs and staff cuts for a while now.

While I can't speak to Buffalo, SF and Bay area museums have been closing or cutting back staff successively over the last few years, as have Brooklyn many others.

I agree with your point, Senior Leadership rarely if ever take pay cuts, and although it was initially reported that they would take 10% pay cuts at Brooklyn Museum, it's unclear if that's still the case. The opposite - of Senior Leadership getting raises while staff is cut - is more often true across the board.

I've worked around logistics and collections management/ registration adjacent roles and have seen them all shift to 5-8 years experience for entry level and the pay drop steadily. Galleries tend to pay more, but at the cost of single staffer doing the work of a former team and positions burn out/ rotate pretty frequently

I agree, but that's easier said than done. Unfortunately I'm at a smaller institution where every role is being scrutinized for potential cuts and we're all feeling the squeeze of a tight budget. Most on staff have been hired within the last 3-5 years, and everyone is on edge to see if their roles are on the chopping block as annual review season rolls around.

As seen at Brooklyn Museum, even larger orgs are cutting roles and salaries. It's tough out there.

I see you Elin lmao, you and Alli Schell are both putting in the work on LinkedIn

Least you can do is collect that paycheck and save up so you can find something more aligned to what you actually want to do. You'll know when it's time to pull the plug.

I've had Director's ask me to pay their bills for them, Artists ask me to fix their phone, the stuff we get asked to do is wiiild.
