#compensation

Lower for longer isn't just about the price of oil. It is the future of your compensation! Salary bands shifted down. Be prepared for years of compensation not keeping up with inflation. Apparently we are all overpaid so no raises!

I was able to negotiate a better severance package. The company recently bumped up its severance fund to $205 million, so theres more room to work. I got extra compensation and more months of outplacement services. Definitely try negotiating. They're open to it and it's worth asking

I received my final paycheck but my remaining PTO wasn't included. Anyone know if that comes separately?

curious if TF gives severance and for how many months

That's right, when you worked hard all year and you find out the execs made great bonuses and you got less that the cost of living increase. And that's IF you got anything at all.
So nice to work for a company where every year you stay with them, you fall further behind in your pay.
Not interested in the bleeding hearts that parrot the execs saying you can always leave if you don't like it, because the truth is many can't find other jobs in their areas of the country.
So, may God help birds cr-p on all the execs who don't stand up for their employees.

Hearing rumors of a buyout for craft next yr double plus 50k. Yall heard anything from other areas

And when? I'd like to see how things have changed over the years.

I was in a 2 months non-working notice, and my last day was October 28. I read previous posts and some indicated they had received their prorated bonus on final paycheck. My last paycheck did not have any bonus. Any suggestions on how to escalate this with the HR? My former manager is non responsive. Thanks!

given we have lifted the asset cap and are extremely profitable, one would think this years comp would be one of the best in a while, but from what I hear it's going to be one of the worst. Guess they need more money for severance and stock buy backs.

I'm trying to make sense of the mixed messages and bringing in another industry CIO like Paula Krantz in our current climate. The leadership of this company seems to burns money on shiny new hires but layoffs and hardly cost living raises are the table scraps fr the rest of us who put in the years building the backbone of the company. I know a couple people in another department who left for better pay at SSM and Express scripts. It is probably time to clean up the resume which is unfortunate.

PL here. If you are a legacy Schwab employee you need to know that you are getting sc--wed badly on your bonus. Your TDA colleagues (that are peers to you) have a much higher bonus percentage (5%+ more). When Schwab switched all legacy blue employees to the percentage based scale a few years back, they maintained status quo with whatever your bonus amount was at the time. The green employees who were already on a percentage based bonus at TDA got to keep their percentage level which means that ALL of them are getting more bonus than their peers on the blue side. Schwab should feel embarrassed and ashamed that they allowed a disgusting discrepancy like this to occur, but NOTHING has been done to correct it for years now. Take this for what it's worth, but Schwab really does not care about you.

I'll admit it, I was a denier...it rubbed me the wrong way...then I started to realize that it was ME that was ruining the company. Forgive me ML...I'll be better and THEN we'll get this stock back to $200 so you and your family can vacation in Switzerland while I stick around and make you richer! Truly blessed

Back in the day, I used to be able to be nosey and look at salary brackets in Career Intelligence before they shut it down. Honestly, it was pretty motivating, so su-ks to see it is gone.

Anybody know not there is another platform to look at salary ranges?

For those that are aware, from January DXC's "employer's" pension contributions will no longer be paid forusing our compensation packages. Instead DXC will pay them directly. Previously these contributions have been paid for out of our Flex funds which I have always thought as wrong. Its "Employers contributions" after all. "Employee's" contributions will remain to be charged to our Flex fund.

I'm glad that this appears to be rectified but its got me thinking that we've been unfairly charged by DXC for these contributions and this could add up to quite a significant amount.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It's a little bizaare for DXC to suddenly change their contributions. I would like to know what has driven this change.

The Broadcom RSU money is life changing

Any word when either date will be?

When are we going to call out this company for doing small layoffs to stay under the WARN number to keep it quiet and implementing RTO to make our lives miserable so that the EC gets the attrition they are looking for? Rick said no plans to change RTO in 2025 because he knew he was going to change it for 2026 and no large scale layoffs because he has a bunch of small scales ones planned. He doesn't want to be called a liar like Walt was but I'm tired of them not being transparent about what they have planned. This place used to care about employees but now its the same corporate McKinsey nonsense we see everywhere else. Executives getting insane amounts of stock compensation and trying to make it sound like we are getting a good deal getting less than three percent raises and an extra 10 percent bonus. 100k comp is comparable to 54k 20 years ago

They’re gonna be about half of what they usually are. Blame Ron.

225K for Darren. He’s got about 2 million shares now

KAM is just disgusting to me. After 3 years already accumulated 645K RSUs.

JPW and NAC both received 118K shares this year and each have about 1 million shares.

It’s disgusting what goes to the top

I am trying to figure out how much severance I can get after 20 years of service. I have been hearing conflicting numbers. Someone mentioned max 6months. Is it true.?

I am a TPM and I work my as@ off in OCI... Late hours, weekends, etc. Now I am going to my 3th year without any raise and my boss keeping using excuses. I would like to know if this is only for TPM or if engineers and other managers faces the same issue.

Everyone here might want to check their hours submitted by HR for your holiday pay.

If you did not receive a full 8 hours, it is because they changed how it is calculated, they now calculate your average hours worked over the last 8 weeks and divide it by your number of shifts.

This scenario doesn’t apply at DXC because my salary won’t increase!! It goes to show how DXC is an outlier when it comes to rewarding employees.

On a salary of...
£ 35,000

You pay £6,280 in tax and national insurance each year.

By 2031, the OBR expects your salary to have risen to about £40,647, excluding any promotions or job changes, as wages rise roughly in line with the cost of living.

At that point, your annual tax bill will be £7,862. That's £1,581 more than you're currently paying, and £215 more than you would have paid if thresholds increased with inflation after 2028 as they were previously expected to.

Your effective personal tax rate is now 17.9%. It will have reached 19.3% by 2031.

If the thresholds hadn't been extended today, it would have reached 18.8%.

Starting an anonymous comp thread.
Not because I’m passionate about it — just because it felt like one of those things where everyone’s waiting for someone else to go first.
So… here we are.

Curious to see what patterns people are seeing this cycle.
Not looking for exact numbers — just trying to understand whether this year felt normal… or “normal.”

To make move to Manchester from Liverpool being offered old K grade £68k mid point. The old J grade is £54k. I thought they got rid of the J & K bands? But they have kept separate bands? BNYM doing their normal thing to benefit them yet again.

Not sure if it’s just me, but my severance calculation and agreement show 2025 STI as $0. Does that mean I would not get STI in Q1? Or is it that 2025 STI isn’t part of the “severance” and is instead just paid out in the normal course of my compensation? I have received STI every year since I started at Verizon

When are they coming out? What % do you expect by performance group?

the $80 million a year executive board gets a haircut?

Does anyone know the full scale of a Grade 15 / 16 at US Bank? are they geo dependent (for the scale).

I am about to most likely receive an offer for a position that the range advertised is

119 to 140K (likely to receive at 130 -135K per recruiter)

I hear the range actually goes to 160K+ (base only)

Is this correct?

Be frank? I got 7% once.

Can someone explain to me how the bonus calendar works?

As a people manager I've just been invited to training for the team members I was forced to rank as "achieved some expectations". I'm UK based but appears to be global training. Anyone know what the consequences this year of getting partial is?

Do you get a portion of it? Also.... what about the other way around? If a teammate leaves before May, does their portion of bonus money get split amongst the rest of the team at the manager's discretion?
