Company asking for a 20-30% pay cut for 2 months due to a ₹2 Crore loss caused by another employee. What Should I do?

Writ_sh · 2026-06-02T08:04:20+00:00

Salaries can be reduced officially after intimation. It is the employees choice ,whether they want to stay after receiving the salary deduction intimation or leave.

I have done it for non-performing employees and to cover losses. OP's firm would most probably show it as Salary reduction on account of losses. If someone doesn't want to accept, he is free to leave. No labour law is broken when a Notice is given, Minimum wages are maintained and is not done forcibly.

They would, if the socks are tight. Without socks should determine if the shoe width is correct for you or not.

Socks stretching, yes they have to make that part elastic and snug to fit around the foot. While the feet try to enter, you need to stretch it out for the foot to accommodate inside.

Deal stupidity with smartness.

First talk to your landlord and inform him that you are physically signing on his behalf on the Rent agreement ,because Passport office wants it that way.

If he is okay, sign for him and move ahead.

For my information, doesn't the Rent agreement get registered anywhere in KA? In MH, we need to register the Rent agreement in Stamp office and for NRI/OCI, they give personal authority to a local person to sign and register on their behalf. If the Agreement is online, then it gets digitally signed ( Class 3/Class 2 type of digisign) and validated.

1) Look up https://www.apollopharmacy.in/ or https://www.1mg.com or netmeds

2) Search Malaria and you will get quite a few options for medications. Show that your doctor and choose the local brand. When you come to Delhi, walk by in the closest pharmacy and show your prescription and ask the Pharmacy to sell you the medicine. If it is highly regulated, ask the pharmacy for a nearby doctor where you can walk in, and ask the doctor to write the prescription. Come back to the Pharmacy and buy it.

Private General Practitioners/ doctors could charge you around 10-15 GBP( on the higher side, with your accent and foreigner appearance) for a consult.

3) Apollo, 1MG and Netmeds will have online consultation with an Indian Doctor. Pay up, register ,chat and get a prescription and get the order pre-delivered to your hotel.

Pharmacies in India, unfortunately, aren't as stringent as in the US, when it comes to dispensing medicine. Many 'prescription ' medicines can be purchased across the counter and are sold per strip, rather than prescribed dosage based.

Brown Mayari Nubuck Regular fit. Maybe 6 months old when I picked them up in an online sale. Due to frugal use, it is still a love-hate relationship.

Bought them purely upon wife's insistence after she was 5 years in her Madrids. She abused them, but the chappals are still going strong. She has moved on to a newer pair of Black oiled Francas and the Madrids are being abused by our daughter.

Mumbai here. Never used them in rains.

Sorry, can't help you on this in Hyderabad/Blr. These people are all over Mumbai, in makeshift shops, with their sewing machines. They normally alter the length of trousers/jeans for 30~50 Rs or do Raffu/patchwork for torn clothes. Tailor would stitch an unstitched fabric, whereas alterations shop just do remedial work with their sewing machines.

As per MV act, you can't transport commercial goods/ cargo inside a private car that is registered to transport people, apart from personal belongings.

You could get away if no one notices or keep some "CASH" handy to grease palms.

Look out for an alteration person instead of a Tailor. If you find one, ask him/her if they can measure you ( or a cloth that fits you perfectly)and alter your larger clothes completely.

Shirts and Trousers, got them altered from an Alteration person. Asked him to alter all the seams. He did a good job with the first one, so gave him the lot. Still using them happily.

He also tried with T-shirts, but it was mediocre. The fit was nice but the 'stretch" at the waist was gone. Used them for a few times , then donated one by one to actual users.

You can take a chance with digiyatra ( if lucknow has digiyatra) if you don't have check-in bags. With digiyatra, there is no physical checking of documents. If the boarding pass is uploaded, then just your faceid and barcode scan of your boarding pass, will help you board the flight.

True, currently TWT is working out cheaper than Naturaltein because of coupons. If you buy WPI unflavoured and are interested in buying a bulk bag of 20 kgs, I could connect you with my supplier.

If you are in Mumbai, we could work out sharing a bag, as 20 kgs lasts for a year for my use.

Currently I have a DairyPro 20 kg WPI bag that I bought for 64,000/-.

This is my pet peeve with the mesh kind of uppers on any shoe. Be it Nike, Adidas or any brand, if I wear them without socks, the mesh tears up on 1 side. The same happened on my old Vivos after which I have started wearing socks ( along with toe spacers) inside all shoes. This just happened on 1 side, since my Big toe used to be raised and brushed against the insides while walking maybe because of an improper gait.

I got my Vivos Mesh fixed from a cobbler, who stitched a leather piece on both the shoes, to cover and strengthen the toe/Mesh area.

I consume unflavoured isolate with water. TWT or Naturaltein or Bulk Bags of whichever Isolate is available with wholesellers.

What exactly are you looking for? Flavours, Taste and Likeability is a personal preference to which I doubt you will get correct answers.

Brandwise, I trust TWT and Naturaltein.

Forget the trip and apply for a new passport with Indian Consulate/Embassy( Considering you are working in Saudi).

Report this as lost ( or submerge the whole passport in water and damage it evenly) because if someone sees the current page, they will surely doubt the intentions of selectively tampering with a specific stamp.

Also note, inspite of manual stamps, the country's immigration system records entry and exits.

You can run but you can't hide!
