If you're cutting or freezing salaries, think about a larger percentage cut for higher level employees. Avoid making a lot of little cuts all the time--that's a good one. Constant cost-cutting creates an environment of constant fear. You demoralize the workforce and lay the groundwork for a mass exodus as soon as employment picks up.
