#compensation

I'm stuck at T3 for 5 years doing the same job as T4s on the team. Issue goes back to legacy roles where 3 roles got rolled into 1 and some got stuck at T3 and others got to keep T4. 5 years later I'm still getting paid $50k less than them. Is this just the way it is at SAP?

What % of you plan to accept number based on new comp plan!!!!!

Anyone know why it was pushed to 2/16 instead of 2/11?

Why do we need a team lead when there’s a manager already?! Team leads are not supervisors and they don’t do any work either but being paid way higher than the rest of the team ??

Reducing account sets by 75-85% but only decreasing quota by 30%….while on the new commish plan that doesn’t pay out if you don’t hit 60%… but hey you get a 25% draw the first two quarters. If you don’t hit 60%, you gotta pay back those draws… make that make sense

If a 3 rating is 20% bonus for band 6, what do 4 and 5 ratings get?

Another year of going above and beyond with no reward, doing all the things picking up slack for team mates and being held to a higher standard than others, taking on extra work and still just meets and no financial or professional reward or compensation. I’ve been here 7 years and I’m tired of the bs

what an irony !
"it's a choice we're making
let's start giving"

to start the townhall with this song and words.
nothing but greed, let's get pay increases with double numbers % in the top.

1. Capped earnings — introducing plans where up to 60% of payout is effectively unreachable.
   1. Rigid RTO mandates — reversing years of successful remote performance with no clear productivity rationale.
   2. Artificial gating — 50% storage gates that suppress commissions even when deals close.
   3. Unattainable quotas — targets set beyond realistic market conditions to control compensation expense.
   4. Remote = stalled careers — limiting promotions for employees who remain remote despite proven results.
   5. Frozen pay growth — eliminating merit raises regardless of performance.
   6. Commission erosion — reducing or eliminating commission opportunities that once defined sales roles.
   7. No in-role advancement — blocking progression within current positions, removing career pathways.
   8. Constant quota changes — moving goalposts mid-year, undermining trust and planning.
   9. Vanishing checks — commission statements that frequently fail to reflect closed, booked business.

Post rewards, what is your pay ratio, with how long you are staying in the current grade?
I am in current position for 2 years and now the ratio is 98%, post rewards, what is yours then?

I’ve heard a lot that merit was low this year. Can any leaders here shed light on what to expect for bonus and LTI? Assuming a meets expectation review

Given that I was rated as “met expectations” across the board, identified as a core performer, and am contributing to a high-performing team, I wanted to better understand how compensation increases are typically evaluated for employees with under a year of tenure. I recognize that I have the least tenure on the team and that this factors into current pay alignment.

I also wanted to confirm whether compensation discussions are normally part of the performance review process or handled separately, as it wasn’t covered in my review.

What did you get?

Is anyone in a Lead Director role at Aetna willing to share the typical salary range and incentive % for this position?

Dell used to have quarterly spifs.
Both LEMC and LDell.

They didn't make a huge difference to earnings but they were fun and something to focus on.

Aren't there short term bonuses available any more to push a new or hot product?

IRA? Credit card debt? Xanax?

Has anyone had their raise talk with their manager yet? What % raise are people getting? I haven't had mine yet.

It feels like SAP layoffs are just a negotiation tactic to keep salaries low at SAP.

The gross median income in Germany is around €52000 per year. And this includes bonuses.

Christian Klein's salary is €800,000 per year and he gets a bonus of €18 million or more.

So Christian Klein makes in a day what an average German makes in a year.

If we didn't have a CEO, we could have had 365 colleagues who could have added a lot more value to the company.

I understand that Christian Klein is a CEO of a large public company and he has responsibilities. I believe his salary is quite inflated and he should not get so much. And it is mind blowing that he gets so much bonus.

If there is less budget for salary and benefits, surely SAP can save money by paying the executives less. So why are they not doing that?

Also, the share buyback calculation seems off. To be able to buy back so many shares, SAP will have to lay off between 10000 and 15000 employees worldwide. For a company where employees are already overworked and underpaid, it doesn't make sense to buy back so much stock.

I’m not sure if this is widely known, but the move to quarterly targets is driven by the One Dell Way tool launching in Q2.

The compensation tool can’t combine targets, so the current approach is to set one target on the existing tool and the next on the new tool.

From Q3, we’ll revert to half-year targets.

That said, it’s difficult not to feel disadvantaged by this decision, which appears to be driven by JC’s eagerness to release the tool earlier than necessary. We could have simply waited until Q3.

This change won’t impact above Director level, who are paid on booked revenue, but it does affect those that do the work who are paid only on shipped revenue.

New Sales plan incentives sales to reach their targets 2x better than previous plans
and panelizes these below much more than previous plan

This is going to let Dell always earn more per share/deal while also a lot of Sales are goign to leave since it be unbearable - these left are ones they delivered over their numbers and with more accounts assigned are expected to do even more

it's similar to what EMC plan was - so not all that negative. Reward big sales that deliver and push out these that don't. Like it or not .

House is always the winner

Hi everyone, interviewing for this role (in Charlotte) later this week. Job announcement had no salary listed, so anyone know a range? New to Wells Fargo, so no clue. Thank you!

unless you have the skills TR deem important i.e AI, we can forget pay increases from now on. Awards are minimal to zero even if achieved. An exceeded might get you a bit more

I'm getting so tired of Gainwell management. They want top-tier results but offer bottom-of-the-barrel raises. It's a recipe for a mediocre, unmotivated staff. Anyone with real talent and options will walk away, leaving us worse off.

So what are feeling the bonus modifier will be? Im thinking 100-105%

Retention bonus for APAC people who are expected to keep things going now that seelscum is gone. Same thing happened when luxoft lost their CFO and ramneth was brought on. If you are not getting a retention bonus you are not needed. But be very aware that they are there and 5-6 figures.

I don’t remember the last time we had a bonus 😅 Is there one happening this year? And do we know when it’d be paid out?

So basically they want sales reps working for salary only (no commission) up to the first 60% of your quota. Then you only get paid on the portion above 60%. Does MD personally just ignore the first 60% of revenue that comes in to the company? Ridiculous. Got one of the 10 richest men in the world trying to squeeze people who helped him get there. His company; he started it. He can do what he wants. But not sure how he sleeps at night knowing he's sc--wing the people who continue to pad his pockets. And management is spewing the executive BS line saying that none of us are in sales to underachieve and how we should be motivated by the upside. More BS. There will be a lot of people leaving, which is their goal with this plan. Well done MD and schmedium-size t-shirt wearing JC.

What happened to 401k match? It's February and the match is still not in.

Has anything changed?

STI pay off closes the chapter, isn't it. Unless you are on Verizon network.

Still no news of AIP payout quantum? Whats taking them so long to share with the employees?? Hmm.

Is it true that director and higher level executives get paid on demand but front line and managers get paid by shipped?

Does anyone know when we’ll be able to see our bonus payslip in workday? Not until 2/11?

Please look into joining either CWU or Prospect and seek legal clarity on this issue — it has real legal significance.

In the UK, if compensation terms are contractual and are materially changed without employee agreement, there may be legal implications beyond unionisation, including potential claims such as constructive dismissal or unlawful deduction of wages.

Before taking anything public, you should:
• Speak to a union organiser for guidance.
• Review the compensation plan wording carefully to determine whether it gives management discretion to make changes.
• Preserve all written evidence of previous compensation structures and related communications.

This should be approached carefully and with proper advice.

Please join a UK Trade Union and seek legal advise from the Trade Union immediately.

We are currently in the early stages of seeking formal union recognition. In the meantime, we strongly encourage you to protect your employee rights by joining a trade union.

Please do not discuss Union membership on Dell systems. Dell management does not have the right to ask you about your Trade union status.

Please be patient as we get organised. UK law is on our side.

Board approved Mikes request to remove employee engagement results from a compensation calculation for SOC. But enjoy bigger bonuses funded by layoffs

Anyone had comp conversations already?
Why not a single email from Deanne K? Why bonus is a bit later this year? And when is the stock grant?

We shouldn't just roll over and accept this comp plan. If we refuse to sign off en masse, it forces leadership's hand. They can't ignore us if the whole sales unit stands together. It'll corner them into a rethink or frustrate them. We need to get the word out to the rest of the Dell team even the ones who aren't checking the boards. Don't let this new plan breeze in over you all.

Wondering what’s the “average” pay increase / bonus adjustment for each of the performance categories.

I know this year (and is typically) a let down, but what are the numbers from the low end of “did not meet” to the high end of “far exceeded”?
