#compensation

Has anyone heard if we will get raises and what the % is? My boss keeps saying how much she appreciates me.

There was a time when partaking in the ESPP was a no-brainer. An immediate and minimum profit of 15% off the lower of the two semi annual corporate purchase opps. Those days are long gone. An employee comp perk that is no longer. Options are a close second in complete failure. The market is always a risk but nike stock has become one of the worst investments one can make (going back at least 3-4 years) and with no end in sight. Sad to be a shareholder. And to be an employee who relied on these benefits as part of their overall comp package.

So apparently the top 4 execs have received extensions of compensation agreements that would pay them through 2029 in the event of separation or acquisition, yet everybody else is being offered what? Three Months? Nothing to see here, move on. Remember we're an *All Weather Team". https://www.tipranks.com/news/company-announcements/cdw-expands-credit-facility-and-renews-executive-protections

Or am I the only unlucky one to be severely underpaid?

Schulman should forfeit the entirety of the awarded compensation package and only be based on incentives. And cutoff Hans and Shankar show them both the door because why are these chaps continue to get paid and to receive benefits.

Bottom line as the Verizon Communications, Inc., share price cannot close over $40/share.

When are the promotions announced typically? Both with your manager and/or team and then also within your LOB? When is the year end comp (Bonus/Raises) typically announced.

Don’t quit yet, mass buyouts are going to be offered immediately after merger. Buyouts will start out at 150 grand.

Pay all employees in RSUs only. No base. No PSP. Only RSUs. Let’s see those slackers then.

Disclaimer: due to local regulations, EMEA folks will continue to get a symbolic €1/month base. Ba dum tiss.

JD, hit me up if you need a chief of staff in your next stint ;)

Yearly raise and promotions what’s the percent typically?

No raise for me this year which is not unique but has me wondering if adjusted for inflation I have maxed out?

What have annual raises been in the past and what are we expecting this year?

I live in Massachusetts and I am considering applying for AI/ML job in their Hopkinton campus (or Franklin one). I expected at least $250K total annual compensation. Can Dell provide me and Engineering job with such salary in MA?

I have been trying to decide which job offer to accept and have been using this forum to try and understand salary structure and promotion opportunity. From what I can see, it seems like once you accept a job at Dell you are stuck with minimal pay increases unless you apply for a different internal role. Is that correct?

• Am I best off pushing hard for my starting salary since it won’t change much?

• Does the salary I’m offered impact colleagues yearly bonuses and pay increase?

• Additionally, is there any other important information around salary I should know?

Every year, I am told - by a series of different managers - that you have to be an I10 to get RSUs. Is this true? Anyone receive RSU grants below I10?

Seeing conflicting things around how long I need to stay to get bonus paid out. I'm an L9 looking to put in 2 weeks notice in the New Year. To get my bonus, do I have to work through 12/31 this year or through the actual payout date?

Just what the title says for those that get a bonus and stocks are they typically always paid out? 100 percent of target?

Then why make the employees miserable rather them treating them as assets. This shows we have money, just not to spend on employees welfare and salaries.

Does anyone know when we are closed the next two weeks? If we are being asked to work do we get overtime pay or 2x for a holiday week? I asked my manager but didn’t get any response. I want to work OT as I could use the extra cash and it seems like this would be double pay. Can anyone tell me what the policy is?

Has anyone had theirs yet?

What does that translate to in yearly increment in usa nj?

Asked my manager as a follow op with the 401k going down and what other total compensation costs there are projected to be in 2026. She was surprised that barely any people were asking about that, granted the area I work in is basically all women of the older demographic. Do a lot of the people just not care with all these cut’s happening?

I think you get your full bonus. I hear also severance is only 2 weeks/year of employment? What all makes up the package?

What criteria was used to either give 3 weeks or 4 weeks special bonus?

Will there be more RIFs ?

Compensation and reward always appears as a negative in your voice feedback. Is there a plan to address this ?

Responses, erm we have a new employee development project.

Hi everyone, do you know when they give out 2025 bonus? Severance package mentioned that WFR people eligible for bonus.

In 2020, Bloomberg reported that Ben took home a total compensation of 6.74M dollars and NO BONUS.

In 2025 Reuters reported Wael’s pay starts at 11M dollars PLUS 9M bonus. For a sweet total of 20M for the same strategy of cut costs and layoffs.

Was part of the layoff and got the minimum 4 weeks severance. My final paycheck was today but it was a few hundred short than usual. With my understanding I thought 4 weeks severance meant 2 full pay periods.

Am I misunderstanding? This is how I had it in my notes:

Separation date is 11/12 and severance kicks in 11/13.

(I get early direct deposit 1 day early)

• Paycheck 11/5/25 - for pay period 10/20 - 11/2
• Paycheck 11/10/25 - for pay period 11/3 - 11/16, received this one early due final paycheck local regulations
• Paycheck 12/3/25 - for pay period 11/17 - 11/30, first 2 weeks of severance
• Paycheck 12/17/25 today - for pay period 12/1 - 12/14, last 2 weeks of severance

I’m in coding and there is a coding auditor role open that I’m applying for. Can anyone share their pay amount if they are in this role. I am a coder for family practice at 36.53 (75k). I saw some posts about recent layoffs so not sure if that’s why this is open.

Thanks for anyone’s help.

Will I receive the bonus for 2025 if I leave Ford in January 2026? Usually bonus is paid in March. Any of you have experience with this?

Anyone surprised?

Can anyone confirm what these differences are in the remote vs hub merit pools? Does hub get more, or does remote just get less?

Hike is coming in Q4.

Just don’t ask which year.

Meanwhile keep giving 200% effort.

Hi all. Been reading this forum while interviewing with Aramco and obviously the situation doesn’t look very promising. But I wanted to ask anyway even if to confirm my negative bias.
I’m in my early 30s, married, no kids. I live and work in Europe earning low 6 digits. I very quickly got to a place where further career progression is very difficult and even if achieved would mean a salary increase incomparable with the increase in hours and responsibilities. I don’t want to say the exact area just in case Aramco HR reads this forum.
The offer is in the 200-300k range. Net it will more than double my salary most likely. I’ll also spend a lot less because I live in probably the most expensive city in Europe where rent is crazy. Most people in the team (including the line manager) are either American or European. The plan would be to stay for a few years, save aggressively and come back to Europe. I know that life is Saudi is strange but I’m sure I’ll be able to survive a few years reading books, playing PS5 and travelling to Europe for holidays a few times a year. I understand that it’s possible for family to visit which would make things easier for me. I also think that in my area Aramco would look pretty good on the resume, and there’s actually an area in which I can grow professionally in Aramco simply because it’s part of the job.

Is this a realistic view given my goal and current position, or am I missing something?

Managers were just notified.

Remote employees will get in lower pay raise pool than on-site people. 0.5% to 1.0% lower.

Also it is confirmed that all remote employees will be moved to geography C on December 21st.

No mention of the actual pools or comp ranges overall.

Any guess what the 2026 AIP payout percentage will be?
