《Time》2009年4月2月,博彩业巨头史蒂夫韦恩第一次裁员,游戏行业在萧条,但要选择以裁员来削减成本,韦恩不愿意。相反,公司宣布,每个持有他的两家公司股权的员工都将减薪。薪水在25万美元以上的员工会降薪15%,其他员工降薪10%。小时工将从每周工作40小时减少为32小时。这个方案既为公司节省了百万美元的成本,又没有使任何人失去工作,而公司依然保持在豪华酒店的服务水平。 “Time” In April 2009, gaming giant Steve Wynne laid off his staff for the first time in the game industry in a recession, but Wayne was reluctant to choose to lay off staff to cut costs. Instead, the company announced that every employee holding two of his company’s shares will have a pay cut. Employees who earn more than $ 250,000 will pay a 15% salary cut and other employees pay 10%. Hourly workers will be reduced from 40 hours a week to 32 hours a week. The program saved the company millions of dollars while leaving no one out of work and the company remained at the luxury hotel’s service levels.
