GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Bus/Financial - Human Resources / employee survey
Portuguese term or phrase: corte do bolo
This is from an employee survey about safety preparedness and the relationship between managers and employees.

In a section on job satisfaction, this appears in a list of employee complaints:
Corte da ginástica laboral.
Alteração do plano dentário sem consultar funcionários.
CORTE DO BOLO para o turno.

Does it refer to a common pool of money, such as profit-sharing, that applies to the entire shift?

Thanks for any feedback.

pay cut
Explanation:
I think this refers to payments. Not necessarily only salary, but all money paid to the employees to pay for their work, including extras for working shifts.
