Everyone should ask chatGPT what your take home pay would be in your state after taxes. What I would actually get to keep is almost cut in half after taxes. Makes the VSP offer less appealing.

What percentage are you getting on your salary increase? when will you know?

These are being published on NA jobs now on the intranet

The US is so much higher than Canada it's crazy

How much did folks get ? Band, %?

It's been since April 1 since I've received a commission check, my boss said we would have plans at the end of April so we could get commissions, then May, then mid-June, and he now admitted he has no idea when plans will be out so that we can get paid. He laughed and said he isn't getting paid either. Fortunately, I have some savings, and can absorb a couple months of waiting, but I am running low on funds now, but half of my team is looking for another job, they need the income. There is no confidence that even when plans come out, that the commissions will be right, trying to mix XBS Corporate and now Enterprise, and Lexmark with all the assignment changes. My salesforce is still wrong, and I am missing accounts that were sent to inside sales for now reason. Our CEO and SLT promised better communications and transparency but we haven't seen even one communication about commissions. Is this to hold onto cash or something? Are others having problems getting paid commissions? This seems widespread

Sorry if it’s in here, I did take a brief look. Anyone know what determines when VZ uses the 2 weeks per year vs. 3 weeks per year for severance? And what the max is under the 3 weeks per plan? I know the 2 week option is 35 weeks, but unsure about the rest historically.

Why would Oxy pay its Petro Technicals a very generous one time bonus unrelated to yearly goals or performance. Some top onshore and offshore engineers received +$60,000 for their efforts..

Your opinions?
Will COP follow the Oxy extra bonus?

I am in the higher ed dep, so we usually get "significant impact" merit increase equating to 3.25% of salary regardless of performance. Has this percentage changed for this year? I guess we will find out from our next paycheck.

I recently went through an interview process for a role in upstream. Not a normal process and the interviews some of the strangest I’ve ever had. I was asked for pay slips then after some months of radio silence was made an offer. The offer claimed Aramco is a “wealth building opportunity”, yet the package on offer was 30% less than my current comp. Seriously, who moves jobs for a pay cut? I politely refused!

Does anyone from you, working in the DXC located in any EU country, has already demanded disclosing the salaries for job positions and gender wage gap? What were the results for DXC?

No Raises? What did that w3 article mean?

PIL sweetening the pot in the way out the door

It’s difficult to see employees lose their jobs while executive compensation remains so high. According to public filings, CEO compensation was approximately $18 million. Many affected employees gave years of service to the company, and the contrast between layoffs and executive pay raises legitimate questions about priorities

Here’s the thing, Fidelity pays a lot lower than competitors. It’s just a fact of the matter. I worked at Fidelity a year ago in WM and as soon as they started the whole RTO thing I did everything in my power to not abide. Leaving early, looking for new jobs on the clock, exceptions etc. believe it or not but if you are licensed that truly does open more doors even in this environment. A lot of the competitors are happy to take us with a nice pay raise

So the 45% pay increase wasn’t enough to get him to concentrate on Pearson?

This is my first year, is this a lot lower than prior years? Even when MIP will pay out at 103% as mentioned in town hall?

From the benefits guide for new employees:
“Over the last decade, our company match averaged 4.5% for employees who contribute at least 6%”
This year would be way below that, like 3.37%

Looking to hear data from actual employees about on-cycle and off-cycle raises? Meaning, has anyone ever negotiated a raise that didn’t coincide with the early December salary treatment supervisor discussion? I’m interested in hearing if you brought a competing offer to the table? What % raise did you ask for? Did you receive it? What time of year? Also interested to hear if anyone negotiated a higher raise % “on-cycle” meaning you did it at the early December salary treatment discussion. Any insights welcome.

If we were really a team then anyone with a C &O or VP in their job title would take a pay cut. You know the ones making millions of dollars per year.
Employees over 60 years old who already qualify for social security benefits and can access their retirement accounts without penalty should take the VSP.
We shall see if our older coworkers thought of others younger than them who may face layoff because you stayed on instead of taking the VSP.

Global looks like their wages are dogshit, especially for the industry. Worldpay was not perfect but much more competitive, nd most of the new HR including the Head of HR are Worldpay folks not Global folks. A good sign for the future of employee benefits?

I’m considering a move to Truist. By the looks of it, Truist has high managed account fees, unattractive compensation grids, leadership turnover, etc. What are the benefits for being a financial advisor at this organization?

Any actual advice on how to successfully get more money from this company. I know most of you will say to leave/find a new job but real advice will be welcomed.

Never thought I would think so negatively about Centene because my experience over the past 4 years has been awesome. I missed the VSP cutoff by 2 days due to my official FTE conversion date, but I don’t think I would have applied anyways.

Curious though, if laid off September 1st, what are typical (non-VSP) severance packages like at Centene?

I started filling this survey out even though it’s requesting your ID. Funny they’re basically asking, do you want higher deductibles that will allow for higher merit or keep it the same. Like either way they’re going to take from one thing to give it to another. It’s insulting. The way it’s set up is to show allllllll the benefits they give us. In reality most Fortune 500 companies offer the same. Travelers offers pension , stock incentives and 20% higher salaries. They know this …

Centene is a such a trash company, 11 years here and the offer I received was horrible. Sarah thinks this route is the best way to go, she is going to lose a lot of people. She needs to pony up and pay her share of destruction she made. Shame on her

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this: I do not give a fu-k about my 9-to-5 job. I don’t care about your KPIs, the company’s goals, or the team’s goals. I don’t give a fu-k about my coworkers, and I don’t give a sh-t about my boss. I don’t care how some director or VP feels about themselves, the team, or the company. I couldn’t care less about any of that.

The only thing I care about is how much money you’re paying me and how much bullsh-t I have to deal with to earn it. I don’t want drama. I don’t want politics. I don’t want unnecessary headaches. I want to do my job, get paid, and go home.

Over the years, I’ve had bosses and executives come to me talking about KPIs, metrics, performance targets, and company objectives. They act like it’s the most important thing in the world. Meanwhile, in my head, I’m just thinking, “Yeah, sure. I don’t give a fu-k.”

If we hit our KPIs, what does that actually mean for me? Am I getting a significant raise? Am I getting a bonus? Is my life improving in any meaningful way? If not, then why should I care? I don’t give a sh-t about what it means for management or what it means for the company. I care about what it means for me.

Unfortunately, when we’re at work, most of us have to pretend we care about those things. We nod along, smile, and act engaged because that’s part of the game. But the reality is that for most people, work is a transaction. We exchange our time and effort for a paycheck.

I think for 95% of employees, that’s the truth. They’re not there because they’re deeply passionate about quarterly targets or corporate strategy. They’re there to make a living. Everything else is just background noise.

Anyone else RSU grants completely out of whack

Why are some people getting more weeks of severance in the same position - same team - with the same years than others?

First quarter bonus didn’t show up. Then they said they are working to resolve the issues. Is there a date by which this will be resolved?

Interested in the cash amount or actual stock amount he was able to sell, or sign on bonuses actually received etc

Assuming this is public information

I think the number one thing that bothers me more than their delivery are their low a-s salaries

Many large companies still use some version of forced ranking, stack ranking, or quota-based performance management where a certain percentage of employees end up in the bottom bucket regardless of overall team performance.

Supporters say it drives accountability and prevents complacency.

Critics argue it creates:

• Internal competition instead of collaboration
• Risk aversion and politics
• Managers spending time managing rankings instead of developing people
• Employees focusing on visibility rather than impact
• Anxiety that reduces long-term engagement

If an organization is profitable, meeting business objectives, and retaining strong talent, what would actually convince leadership to eliminate forced ranking and PIPs as a routine management tool?

Would it take:

• Better performance metrics?
• Evidence of lower turnover?
• A major labor shortage?
• Executive leadership that came up through different systems?
• Or is forced ranking simply too useful for managing headcount and compensation budgets?

For those who have worked at companies that abandoned stack ranking, what replaced it and did it work better?

Interested in hearing experiences from both managers and individual contributors.
