I'll try to give you an analogy.. Say it's summer and I owned a lemonade stand and hired two people to work it while I supervised it. It brings in $100 a day, I pay my two workers $15 each, $40 goes to expansion, $30 goes to me. Now it's winter and I'm selling less lemonade, say I take a hit to income at 30%, now I'm making $70 total per day instead of $100. Would it be fair, right, ethical of me to dock my workers pay down to $10 each, continue to take home $30 myself, and put $30 back into the company? They're working the same hours as before, would that be OK?
