I'd say at the very least, start looking for something else. If you get a job offer with the pay and benefits you are looking for, you can approach your current employer to see if they'll match it. Six months seems a bit extreme for a benefits hiatus, and if they are considering this move as a cost cutting measure on top of removing other benefits, then it's probably a clear indication the company is struggling, and likely only a matter of time before layoffs start happening.
Yeah, we had layoffs last week (and in Feb). We also had an forced unpaid week off in March. I guess I should probably start looking. Technical interviews are just the worst though -_-
Yeah, those are some major red flags. Good luck on the search.
