I graduated many years ago and my first job was in CS. My friends ridiculed my decision then; "aiyo, why join gahment", "CS no future leh". They drew good salaries in PS and enjoyed fat bonuses. When we met up for gatherings, I was envious of their big and flashy cars and beautiful companions.
I spent some years in CS before moving to PS in the banking and engineering sectors to feel how it was like in the PS. It was always my intention to return to CS to share my wisdom gained in PS.
Then bad times fell like a warhammer on unsuspecting heads. The world economy was hemorrhaging like a gutted open wound. Gurus littered the internet like virtual prophets of doom. I was fortunate enough to return to CS even though it involved a pay cut.
What happened? Those friends who ridiculed me for joining CS came running to me; "eh, got lobang for me?", "can get me into CS?", "pls help me, I'm desperate". Gone were the big and flashy cars and beautiful companions. In their place were final reminders for bills due and divorce papers. And they forgot having ridiculed me those many years back.
I really felt for them and tried to help. Alas, I couldn't as CS also had severe budget cuts for headcount. I believe I managed to rejoin only because of a restructuring and some headcount actually became available due to the agency ending up having to handle more scope.
That's a bit of my chequered history.
Anyway, don't be too glad if CS makes pay cuts across the board. PS may take the opportunity to say "see, gahment ownself cut pay, the situation must be damn jialat, we better follow suit". Win lor, PS complainers ownself sabo.

Nothing to be surprised about. There will always be a group out there where their goal is to complain about CS. Guess we just need to ignore these people. End of the day, CS will still continue to work despite knowing that they are serving ungrateful people.
There is no way we can make everyone happy.
