Since your pay has been cut by 10%, in my calculations your answers only have to be 90% correct. He can then squirm to figure out what is accurate.
Good luck to him!

Update and venting AGAIN!
Thought I was going to be playing again back in Oct/Nov, but my supervisor suddenly quit and my boss was fired a week later. So I figured I better wait and see how things shake out.
Two months later, after having to take up the slack of no supervisor, they finally hired a new manager and supervisor, both of whom are old friends of the district manager. You see where this is going. The manager tells me how good a job I am doing and thanks me for making him feel welcome. The supervisor tells me how good a job I have been doing and proceeds to tell me they are cutting my hours from 40 to 36 hours a week. The reason why is to make up for his salary! Basically I lose 3k a year in salary so they can pay and old buddy, who hasn't done the job in 20 years and is asking me questions ALL THE TIME!!
The good ol boy network in South Carolina SUCKS SHIT!!

Going to vent a little here sorry....You guys won't believe this shit.
Went to the interview and talked with my old boss and everything went well, we were a little apart on salary, but he doesn't make the final decision. So we went to continue the interview with the soon to be promoted Manager.
The moment I met him I could tell he was a complete moron,(You all know what I mean) and knew this wasn't going to go well. So I gave him my resume and what I was expecting in salary and benefits and we went over my 35 years+ experience and certifications in the business and he proceeds to offer me beginners salary for the position or $3 and hour less than I was making when I last worked with them 2 years ago.
I asked him if he was serious and he said yes. I told him that I was contacted by them to come in for the interview and that I took his salary offer as a personal insult and he looked at me shocked and repeats that is what we are paying for the position.
I am dumbfounded and look over at my old boss and he is speechless. I tell the manager he is wasting my valuable time and snatch the resume from his hand and hand it to my old boss and tell to talk to his District Manager and contact me if they want to make a serious offer and walked out before I said what was really on my mind.
As I walk out the door I heard my old boss telling him, "Ummm Larry(the guy I would be replacing) is being paid $3 more than what you just offered him and he has none of the certifications and 1/10 the experience.
How is that complete and utter MORONS keep being hired in management positions? I have worked his management position before with several different companies and I wouldn't hire him as a janitor cleaning toilets.
End of vent!

Need some positive thoughts guys, I got a call out of the blue from a former employer asking me to come in for a job interview and hopefully enough of an increase in pay to atleast start playing in 81 again.
Sweet! You are certainly missed in 81 and we hope to see you back soon. Praying for a positive outcome.

There's nothing sadder than seeing a gladiator sitting on the sands outside the arena with a 'Will Fight for Food' sign.
When things are tight, I play the one arena I enjoy the best.
Good luck in the interview and see if you can negotiate a Duel II expense budget.
