#compensation

Does anyone know if our severance will be paid out in what format?

Any word of SGL, salary, VCIP, and RSU changes for individuals moved to new roles? I know some were demoted and informed of compensation changes at the time of that notification, but is everyone else to assume that no changes are coming? Will we experience similar SGL restructuring as occurred in Canada?

Did anyone get a package higher than $197,500 all in (vacation payout included)?

Anyone else here wondering how we’re going to cover all these big gaps we took with the amount of people that left ? Peers in SP were already busy and losing 4 people is just going to add more uncertainty. Those who stayed , get ready to work for the equal amount of pay.

last day of service is 2/20.

Total Pay: (lets just say 50k)
State Required Pay: 25k
Final Severance Pay: 25k

why am i only getting 25k?

I took a look at the numbers and saw there is a HUGE disparity on the amount. If they want to be honest in their dealings - pay the higher number

I have logged in to the severance portal and I see that the STI amount is 0? Does anyone get it?

Does anyone know what they use to determinate the sev package? Is it 2 weeks a year? Straight 6 month salary?? Etc

I want to milk this to the maximum. I earned it after 12 years here.

What’s the severance package like? Enhanced and 3 weeks per year like it’s been in the past? Standard 2 weeks per year? Or is it really just 1 week per year like some rumors have mentioned?

Please take some time and review and send in especially if you are a frontline worker. Regardless of what happens on 11/20/2025 we should join. We have been getting raises less then inflation for years, our Rx coverages got way worse and our insurance increased by 30% of cost while removing almost all employee discounts from other companies. That whole new program actually cost more then retail in most cases. Providing awards points which are pennies on the dollar while PSO workers get weekends off but reps who have been performing well for over a decade can't see their families on the weekend.

This needs to stop now!

I’ve been with this toxic cesspool of a company for about 6 years. How much severance will they give me?

Just remember that your entire livelihood and career is worth about 1/700 or even more of the $74m discretionary executive bonus pool for 2025. This is split by 5 employees.

Your whole family and your dependents and kids futures are just a rounding error for the leadership team. Shoulda been a shareholder, su-ks to su-k 😂 😂 😂

Has anyone else noticed “stock together” is now gone from “your total rewards” page?

Furthermore, according to the last non-voluntary severance documents, they paid you a prorated amount of your stock units.

That would equate to 83% of THIS years stock award you will get to keep. The rest for the following years will be forfeited.

Can anyone confirm or deny if they actually got it? I thought only senior leadership and people managers got raises or bonuses last year and this year? It's going to be hard to keep ANYONE on long term let alone the talented people if there's another year with zero extra compensation for 2026.

Currently working in technical team think about a change to the sales team next year. Can I make more money ? What's its like working in sales in the UK, they seem to do well ? What are the managers like ? Can they really earn these big ote that's banded about?
Also how long do you get to get deals on ?

Does it hit with the next pay period or does it usually come later?

I hate that I have to come here to ask this but I don’t trust my HR business partner at all. I am an HQ employee and I hate every day of it. How long do I need to stay in order to receive my 2025 bonus? I know we are paid in like February of the next year and stuff, but is there a cut off ? Or do you have to be employed through the pay period where we receive it next year? I’d realllllly appreciate the help or experience.

Anyone know if personal hours are also paid out in addition to unused pto? In CA we get an annual payout in the spring so I am wondering if that would also be included in addition to our pto payout and severance (yes I know severance and pto are paid out separately)

Are laid off employees entitled to a prorated VCIP paid out in Feb or as part of their severance payment?

If you give notice but your last day runs through date bonus would be receive would you still receive your bonus...Or do you have to wait to give notice until after bonus is received as giving notice would disqualify you?

So because many of our leaders have spent so much time in town halls and team meetings, the review process will now take place in Q4 with the plebs getting the 0% pay increase in March 2026. Thanks Jenny. Keep kicking that empty can down the road!

Our group is going through a re-org and will re-level jobs accordingly. Does bonus change or can you carry all your current comp with you?

Curious what (if any) severance they’ve been giving people during these re-orgs. Is it paid as a lump sum or every 2 weeks like a usual paycheck? Do they give a few weeks/month of benefits so these folks aren’t scrambling for immediate coverage?

Just one more f you. I am thankful to have a lump sum pension of note (30+ yr employee) but I just lost about 35K.

That’s all they care about. People in Mar solutions and other places keep going on about leadership visibility but it’s all about their own pay. They could care less about you

When/If Rif’d, does your severance include at risk commission? Or just standard two week check per year you’ve been with the company?

Saudi Arabia scales back salary premiums for foreign talent, recruiters say

Summary

Saudi Arabia shifting focus to sectors such as AI, logistics

Salary premiums for foreign recruits reduced amid cost-cutting drive, increased competition

Saudi private sector salaries now comparable to UAE

ABU DHABI, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Saudi firms are scaling back generous salary premiums that once lured top foreign talent into sectors such as construction and manufacturing as the kingdom reins in spending and reorders economic priorities, four recruiters told Reuters.

Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, is more than halfway through its economic transformation blueprint, known as Vision 2030, aimed at reducing dependence on hydrocarbon income, creating jobs, and expanding industries such as tourism, real estate, mining and financial services.

Indian-origin Howard professor Ronil Hira, a critic of the H-1B visa, explained why U.S. companies favor it. Despite President Trump recently signaling a need for certain foreign talent, the administration imposed a $100,000 fee on H-1B hires, sending mixed messages. Hira noted that many H-1B workers have ordinary skills available domestically, but employers prefer them because they can be paid less and are bound to their employers. While some highly skilled workers do come via H-1B, the program often fills roles for cost and control rather than genuine skill gaps. Hira emphasized that H-1B is a labor policy, not an immigration issue, and criticized its weak worker protections, which make it attractive to Silicon Valley.

Cut pay plans and increase quotas. What kind of talent do you retain? What kind of environment do you foster? You wind up with reps stuffing sales with undiscussed line items. Risking getting fired so they don’t get fired. Makes sense and sounds sustainable!

WayDay was lower than expectations so they have to make the balance sheet up somewhere. Rob Peter to pay Paul.

In recent months, I have had multiple people on my team leave BNY and I am the only person left. Should I finally demand a real raise? 5%+?

Since 2020, Udit Batra’s total compensation at Waters Corporation has grown by about 95%, rising from about $5.7 million in his first year as CEO to more than $11.1 million in 2024.
Batra’s pay is ~132 × the median employee’s compensation, according to Waters’ own proxy disclosures. 

For new hires, the minimum total compensation (for example, a $100k base salary + $100k in RSUs) is locked in for the first four years as stated in the offer letter, but that guarantee expires in the fifth year. When I checked the compensation section on my.company.com, it only showed my $100k base salary and didn’t mention RSUs at all.

Can anyone clarify how total compensation works starting in year five? Will the RSU portion remain the same as the amount listed in the original offer letter, or will it be adjusted based on the current market compensation for my job level and performance?

The company keeps asking us the beginning of every quarter for a show of interest in VSB but then nothing.

SHIW ME THE MONEY!!!!

I guess Managers got around 5K-7K and AM got <4K, others are even lesser

Noticed a huge increase in offsites, townhalls they spend millions on but no decent wage increase/bonuses for the peasants. The offsites are constant now. I’ve never seen this before. All while plotting to cut you job.

I had enough of the mo--ns and the low pay. Right after COVID I got a second job and never looked back. Now i make more than a director and do half as much. I recommend it for everyone. I don't worry about a lousy increase because I still make more than my manager. LOL
