With schlumberger cutting my salary by 30%, no bonus and I am up to me eyes in debt with a new house, my child is ill with big medical bills and an expensive car I bought just before the downturn I may have no option but to accept this offer. I know its not the right thing to do but also its not the right thing to cut my salary and maybe in this case two wrongs can make a right and save my family from destitution.

Don't do it buddy unless you are a VP or President and can get away with doing that kind of stuff.
I know a VP who made a fortune doing this and retired to California with an even bigger house and better car than what you probably have. Learn from the big guys and you will be OK
