#bonus

Hi! I’m interested in joining Walmart - what are the bonus / stock estimates for director / sr director levels? The salary range is so wide that it’s not even helpful. Appreciate the guidance.

Hi. Looking to apply to a role at McD…are the benefits worth it at the sr director level? They don’t share any info on comp so hard to know. And the salary range is broad so that also doesn’t help. Appreciate any guidance.

2024 - Global KPIs 70% = payout 174.51%
2025 - Global KPIs 70% = payout 140%

Clever accounting ?

Makes me sick go go on LinkedIn .... and seeing sad-sack Verizon RIF victims “open to work” and not even able to get a G D interview …. intertwined with Verizon execs “Proud to have achieved Diamond Club in the 2025 Verizon Business Group Recognition Program” “Verizon is so good to me” “ Honored and thankful to be a 2025 Diamond 💎 Club Award winner with Verizon Business 🙌” ugh. Just ugh. Would be nice to have a g d job k thx.

Hi,

Back in 2024, I wrote @OP+1tugivWq where I shared information on PIP changes at Google (as opposed to Alphabet). I felt it was appropriate to write an update for 2026.

First, let me be clear: This past GRAD results season appears to have been a massacre. In 2026, you got your bonus if you were still employed on March 1, 2026. Anecdotally, it seems February 2026 saw a surge of Googlers abruptly leave the company.

This is a continued trend from earlier. At one point, Google used to be more tolerant of employees who plausibly just had a poor performance review period. It is becoming more and more obvious that such tolerance is a thing of the past.

Okay, so you manage to get an S rating. In early March, you learn what your merit increase, bonus and equity refresh are. Based on pay comparison results and personally speaking with colleagues, it seems that the changes described in @OP+1jts0j95y (and kudos to that OP!) have been implemented: T got fantastic raises, O got good raises, S far smaller raises. Depending on where your old salary is in relation to the 2026 salary band for your level, your raise likely didn't beat inflation, if you got a raise at all. Yes, Virginia, there are definitely reports of Googlers who received $0 in base salary increases.

One thing I am trying to wrap my head around is the actual new PIP process. For those who went through it, can you reply with what you were offered? Were you even offered a chance to take a PIP? Did you get 60 days of garden leave? Can anyone say that my belief that those PIPed in 2026 didn't get a bonus is wrong?

When do we get our bonuses this year?

I was casually looking at the Optum internal job postings and I didn't filter to United States and out of curiosity I clicked on a couple offshore job postings. Guess what the referral bonus amounts I saw are $20,000 & $37,500.

It blew my mind. Stateside referral bonuses are usually $500 or $1000.

Geezus!

Hey anyone who retired last year and eligible for 2025 bonus...did you get paid today and if yes, was it mailed or direct deposit?

Team,

I’m excited to share an update on this year’s President’s Club recognition.

President’s Club celebrates the teammates who delivered the strongest revenue-impacting results across Optimum in 2025. These individuals represent the very best of our performance culture and embody what it means to deliver for our customers and our business.

As previously announced, and in support of aligning our resources with our enterprise priorities, we will not be hosting a President’s Club trip this year. That said, we want to ensure these achievements are celebrated in a meaningful way. For 2025, President’s Club winners will receive:

A monetary award
A commemorative President’s Club trophy
A President’s Club jacket

Winners will be notified tomorrow, and we look forward to recognizing their accomplishments.

While President’s Club highlights our top performers, our progress as a company is driven by the collective work happening across the organization every day. Supporting customers, solving problems, strengthening relationships, and driving results all contribute to our momentum as ONE Optimum.

Thank you for everything you do and for the commitment you bring to our customers and teams every day.

Colleen

For those from legacy Ansys, how did bonuses change 2026 vs 2025 ?
Trying to get a sense if they went up, down, or stayed roughly the same.
US / APAC / EMEA ?

Does anyone know how the raise and bonus are calculated every year? Who decide the amount? LL6? LL5 or HR?

Dell puts out an article stating how great they did the last year, and quarter - record breaking even! - and then turns around and gives a 126% IBP bonus modifier, and under 2% raises LOLOLOL???!!!

WTF is this bs?

In the 6 years I've been there I've never gotten below a 6% raise and wasn't expecting much this year simply because of the giant middle management reorg last year... I was not expecting a 1.72% at all, though. Englation is like 2.4 and Dell couldn't even give that much lol?

Well it is bonus announcement week. Anyone hear anything yet?

Use this post to report %s this week for those into such things

I got an additional bonus today for RTO. My boss said I had the best 'how and where report' score in the group and were rewarding me as such. $$$$

Will those who were laid off receive any bonus?

Has anyone who was let go on the 19th received the email with the info on their bonus payout yet?

Here we are in 2026:

(Ford only built 1,350 of the one exception, unrecalled GTs.)

Did Farley miss any bonuses?

Farley in 2022: Ford F-150 Lightning has exceeded Ford’s expectations as 200,000+ customers lined up to reserve one… exceeded production capacity for the 2022 model year.

Ford sold 15,617 units of the F-150 Lightning in 2022.

Did Farley miss any bonuses?

I received a 2.5 performance rating that my manager told me “had to round down to a 2 due to a new policy”. Has anyone else been told about this “round down” policy? And then I was told I will not receive anything for a bonus payout because of my rating. I’ve been here for years and this is my first time ever getting a 2, so want to see if any of this sounds normal or if I should be taking to HR

Hi there, I was following the email that said you can make changes to your bonus contribution as to where it will land cash or 401k and when I went to the site I could see a $$$ amount that I could select for cash or 401k, does that mean that is my bonus amount? It seems really low even though I exceeded last year so I am not sure if that is the correct amount or if I’m misunderstanding

Anyone noticed more retirees than normal these passed few days? Seems like they waited to ensure they got their bonus and got outta here.

Does anyone know what the bonus were funded at?
And the merit increase percent?

I just put in my two weeks after getting the bonus and accepting a new fully remote job that I start Monday. Rick and EC you will not be missed.

I saw my regular check but no bonus.

Anyone got their bonus and raise yet?

And if you quit do you get a prorated bonus in March of the following year?

My partial CIP arrived in my bank account overnight. This is after an AEOI last year. No sign of a paystub though, and I expect that will arrive via snail mail.

Did anyone else not get a bonus or just me? I was told its bc I didn’t make any extra contributions but I thought this was based on performance and meeting metrics. Bummer as this is what motivates me so now i’ll be doing the absolute bare minimum this company is draining and managers just come up with their own little rules. Band 1 employee

anyone else’s Lexmark counterparts receive bonuses? when us Xerox folks found out morale dropped a lot… we didn’t get bonuses, just the Lexmark folks.

I wonder what would happen if leaders at all levels in the company had their performance and bonuses solely based on how well they led their teams. Take bottom line business numbers out, feed those through individual contributors, and if you’re a leader you are solely measured on your ability to lead! Measured through TTUS (and p.s., stop asking bullsh-t questions you know aren’t targeting the truth), you measure through attrition and actual employee satisfaction surveys. Oh what a concept and how things would change, real fast

No, not at Truist of course.
After two consecutive years of $0 bonus at Truist I'm happy to report that the bank I am now with is giving me a 5-figure bonus + 4% raise (and I've only been here 6-months). Would have never happened at TFC!
Cheers to greener pastures.

I heard people are being told about their bonuses, merit increases and promotions in March and it will take effect in July. Is that true? Please share any information you have or your experience if you got this update.

Employee appreciation week yay! You guys should throw a party for everyone on the team - no budget given. So we pay for our own party - yet again I might add.

Combine that with 4 years in a row with an exceeds rating and getting far less than 2% raise. Oh great, I can take my family to McDonalds once a paycheck (barely).

I’m just done with this place. No matter how much I deliver of performance, that’s the best you can do? Never any Connection awards (what’s that?). The exact same bonus as everyone else, no raises, no promotions.

You don’t take care of your people, treat everyone like trash, you are not paying a fair market wage (we are the lowest in telecom), no budgets for anything, yet they waste billions on failed deals, waste millions on stupid marketing stunts.

I’m just fed up with this place. Nobody should come work here unless they are desperate.

How many jobs did it cost to pay for the new RedBull sponsorship deal?
How many bonus won’t get paid to send the execs to watch F1 races this year?
