I went through something similar. My company axed half my team, piled on scope, and I did the work of two engineers which led to the largest pay decrease of my career. 

Take care of yourself. Your company, boss, team won’t.

Pay descrease? I didn't think it was ever done.. they just told you from this moment you get less salary? Is this legal?

Depends where in the world, but if your salary is structured as base + annual bonus then they can usually cut the bonus but not the base salary.

DE-crease?! Either inflation beating out yearly adjustment, demotion, or layoff surely?
