US Bank doesn't care

I've been with the bank for 28 years and this is the first time I am actually ashamed to work for US Bank. They treat their employees like dog s***. The raises and bonuses don't amount to anything anymore. They're making it impossible to meet goals so they don't have to give us raises and bonuses. If US Bank doesn't care about their employees why should their employees Care about US Bank.


Lowest IPF?

How were bonus budgets this year compared to last year? Seems most people are saying they just had a decrease or even lowest IPF in their Cisco tenure. I also had a decrease but wonder how much of that is performance and how much is budget based.


job change: impact to bonus & 401K match

I am considering another opportunity with a required start date in early November. The other company is not willing to change the start date.

Leaving before year-end may affect my annual bonus and 401(k) match. Does anyone know the last date we must remain employed to receive both the bonus and the 401(k) match?

I would like to understand the eligibility rules before I make a decision.


The Mission Is Possible

So, once you over pampered geniuses drive the stock to Aubrey's levels, and buy it all back for cheap. What is next? Applying for credit cards just to keep paying yourselves bonuses and hide from the creditors later by moving to Belize?


Welcome to the year end where Dinosaurs THrives while lower grades suffer

Welcome to the new age. Dinosaurs are having increased bumps in pay checks and bonus eating the dinner of G4's and G5's. These dinosaurs are ruthless and shameless. While principal, directors and VP's are claiming the credit of the work done by G4's and G5's.


has anyone recently resigned?

Has anyone recently resigned, and if so, does anyone know how the bonus payout and 401(k) match schedule works for employees who leave during the year?

I’ve seen many posts here with mixed responses on whether employees who resign are eligible for their annual bonus and 401(k) contributions, so I’m trying to get some clarity based on actual experiences.

I’m currently the only employee based in the U.S., and it appears the call center & technology operations are moving offshore. I haven’t communicated any intention to leave, but I’d like to understand my options and what happens to earned benefits if someone decides to resign.

Also, does anyone have insight into the so-called 30-day notice period? Is that a company requirement, and how does it impact the final paycheck, bonus eligibility, or other benefits?


Bonus after displacement?

The end of my displacement period is after September 30. As I understand it, I am "eligible" for my bonus. There is nothing in the severance agreement regarding bonuses and I'm told I need to discuss any potential bonus with my manager. Ideally, this information would be in the agreement I'm signing. I'm wondering if anyone has received a bonus in a situation like this or if anyone knows if WF is open to changing the agreement.


Someone has no issue getting raises

Not any of us chumps. But Brian has done well for himself. Can’t wait to hear the annual BS about limited pools and bonuses. Brian got his; that’s all that matters

Fund Performance - Morningstar Peer Ranks

Capital Management continues to struggle abysmally this year. Poor stock selection. Poor positioning. Peer rankings according to Morningstar. The higher the number, the worse the peer to peer performance. Many MoA funds continue to be bottom feeders

Time to stop protecting Capital Management. Time to end quarterly bonuses for them. Time to layoff some people.


Bonus paycheck - when?

When is the alleged extra pay-check under the guise of a R&A coming to us. Haven’t heard anyone mention it. Do you think they will follow through? Why wouldn’t MW set a date, something for us to look forward to? Another thing that could have been positive turned sour.


What’s my motivation?

I’ve seen a lot of great employees RIF’d in the past year. Even if you try hard your number may be drawn for the next round of layoffs.
Doing an AMAZING job and the bare minimum both amount to the same 2-3% raise.
Your bonus can be arbitrarily reduced in any given year because they feel like it, like when people lost bonus pay because of Quality issues despite having no impact on Quality in their daily work.
Promotions are few and far between.
Each time you are promoted, your chance of RIF increases.
We’re all constantly given more work without more pay because they are actively reducing headcount, but not expectations.

What’s the motivation to try hard? Is there any?


Measuring the employee’s output.

There are people that install, provision and maintain the telephone network and then there are 7 levels of people that measure the pace of that work being done and talk about it on conference calls all day. Each level getting a bigger bonus than the last all based on the work of the lowest level employees output. I know that’s a bit oversimplified but really it’s pretty close.


Penkat has ANOTHER boondoggle in India

Flying a bunch for people to India for what??? WTF. TUs execs are very good at planning lavish trips for no business value but are less good at actually increasing the stock price.
I'm sure when there are layoffs and sh---y bonuses and increases, they'll cry about how hard things are and forget about their many boondoggles.


In past Octobers?

In the past when there were layoffs in October, layoffs would happen the first Tuesday of the month. In that scenario what was the end date? was it month end (10/30) or was it 12/31? or did it depend on whether they needed you to finish up the year end work? was bonus prorated or did you get the whole thing? could you accelerate your end date?


Project Exodus

Project Exodus is about to live up to its name.
What started as another corporate initiative may end up becoming a mass migration of talented people out the door.
Enjoy the short-term “profit” from squeezing Sales compensation. You may hit your Q3 and Q4 numbers. You may put it on a slide, declare victory, and tell everyone the strategy is working.
But somewhere along the way, a company built on salespeople, relationships and customers became a company run by bean counters. And while the spreadsheet may look better today, you've set something else in motion: the exodus.
People are packing their parachutes. The best will jump first. And when they go, they’ll take years of experience, customer relationships and institutional knowledge with them—the very things that helped build this company in the first place.
That’s the sad part. There are a lot of incredibly talented people here who carried this company through good times and bad, and customers who depended on them.
So to everyone getting ready for the jump:
They may take our bonuses. They may take our commissions. But they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!
🪂 Good luck with the jump, everyone. See you on the other side.


Nike Leadership: Failing at a Level Most Employees Would Be Fired For

Watching Nike’s leadership discuss “winning” while the stock collapses from roughly $177 to $38 is like watching the captain of the Titanic accept an award for improving access to ocean views.

These people inherited the Swoosh, one of the most recognizable and valuable symbols in human history and somehow turned it into a case study in executive arrogance, strategic confusion and highly compensated mediocrity. It is genuinely impressive. Most people could not damage a brand this powerful without actively trying.

But accountability at Nike apparently works differently depending on your salary. When employees struggle, they are “low performers” who must be eliminated. When executives erase billions in shareholder value, weaken the marketplace and lose ground to smaller competitors, they receive bonuses, consultants and another opportunity to reorganize everyone beneath them.

Then comes the corporate theater: “Win Now.” “Sport Offense.” “Consumer-led.” “Future growth.” A seemingly endless vocabulary designed to disguise the inconvenient fact that the people constantly lecturing everyone about excellence have delivered one of the least excellent performances in Nike’s history.

The employees who actually designed, engineered, developed and delivered the product were treated as expenses. The executives who repeatedly misread the market were treated as visionaries. Now the share price provides the performance review leadership was apparently too important to receive.

From $177 to $38.

Just do it? They just did it, to themselves.

Nike does not suffer from a shortage of talent. It suffers from a surplus of executives who confuse authority with intelligence, meetings with progress and surviving their own failures with leadership.

The Swoosh deserves better. Employees deserved better. Shareholders deserved better.

But please, tell us again how eliminating more working people will finally correct the decisions made by the untouchable geniuses at the top.


RTO changes nothing. If anything it’s made productivity plummet.

I show up at the office. I sit there for 8 hours to the exact minute.
All I do is hang out, talk to people around the office, scroll on my phone and watch Netflix on my iPad.
The best part is with this new 8&skate culture there’s really no pressure to deliver anything anymore. As long as you show up and sit you get an exceeds rating.
I’ve significantly reduced my hours and no longer feel any stress or pressure because I no longer care. I’ll stick around and keep doing the exact same thing until I’m paid to leave.
You bootlickers can keep ki-ling yourselves to pick up the slack while I get the same rating, pay, and bonus for 1/8th of the workload. You keep working hard and paying my bills while I keep chillin. Thanks!
