Companies stop contributing to employee 401ks to save money.

Regions has quit matching contributions to employee 401ks. Company matches may not be much, but as tight as money is for everyone, every little bit helps.
Re: Companies stop contributing to employee 401ks to save money.
Wow. That really, really sucks.
However, I think I'd rather them stop contributing and me keep my job, then have them contribute and have to fire me. So scary.
I hope they can get back on track and start contributing again soon.
The smaller family owned companies are doing this too. The company my husband used to work for did this just last month.
Wow..I worked for a company a few years ago and still have some friends there and they said that they weren't turning on all the lights because there they have a lot of windows and are trying to use some natural sunlight.
my co doesn't match until you've been here 5 yrs and are considered fully vested. I didn't get a merit increase (another story) and people who did only got up to 2% (which isn't much, but something is better than nothing). We have stopped all open rec's or transfers in the co. We do a lights out on Fri's (I love it personally as I hate the flourescent lights) and there are other ways we are saving on money.
I agree, I'm happy to have a job but sometimes it doesn't seem worth it if you're absolutely miserable. Again, I am grateful as I feel bad for those who have lost their jobs.
I had an employee complain about the size of their merit inc. this year. I wanted to be like, Are you kidding me? Do you know how many people in this country are not getting a merit increase or even worse, are out of a job?
