Several posters have wondered if the cuts that are being reported in peoples salary/take home pay are as widespread as the newspapers, IBEC etc would have us believe.

So I thought if people could post their own experience it would be helpful.

I don't think this should be a discussion, since many other threads are doing that very well, just an information gathering exercise for ourselves. (When i say salary below it refers to the direct salary before deductions and reduction in staff would include non-replacement of staff) and taken from a base of December last year.
