I don't know how much a cut you got but I think you are too attached to the $$$ cut but nothing else. If the work condition sucks and manager and bosses treat you like shit. Just quit, EI or not.
There are very few employers who are not looking at the 30% saving on hiring new staff. The customers are also looking at the same saving to be delivered. Everything is constantly being priced down, wages not withstanding.
You look at your job, your pay and compare to CURRENT industry average and how valuable and marketable you are. If every aspect looks good, who give a shit about EI. Just quit and let someone else have your job.
Some of you may call it exploit, at the end of the day, it's just business.
