Tech pay drops for first time in a decade

Never mind that information technology workers who still have jobs are
making a lot less from stock options; their base salaries and bonuses are
also falling sharply, a new survey released Monday shows.

Information technology managers should see an average 8 percent decline in
total compensation this year, while rank-and-file IT workers should expect
their pay to fall by 11 percent, according to a study by high-tech trade
publication Information Week.
