Any views on the new monthly pay set up coming.

As the first full day comes to a close, keen to hear some feedback, positive or negative.

I've started thinking my below market salary might actually be protecting my job. That's a pretty depressing thing to feel grateful for.

This is still one of the better places to work. Yes, there are issues, but some of you can't see the forest for the trees. With everything happening in the world, I'm willing to overlook a lot for good pay and benefits, and I still get that here.

I currently work at State Farm in claims. It is pretty draining. Most of the customers are ok but some just endlessly talk to where I can't even ask them questions or explain things to them lol. I like State Farm. The pay and benefits are great. I just don't know if I can see myself staying in claims long term. Is underwriting a good area to work in? How safe is underwriting from A.I. eliminating jobs and layoffs? I know claims is very safe because customers want to talk to a person but I don't know if I can continue claims lol

nothing to say about layoffs as there are none. i am an account mgr (gov't). i think it really depends on who leads you and the person that's leading my group is a great mentor and she cares. nothing else to add here, good benefits, stable company and highly recommended for anyone that's looking for a meningful job in a very stable company. again, no layoffs that i am aware off. w-w-grainger

What's the biggest percentage increase you've gotten at EJ? Mine was 6 percent, and that was the high point.

Or their job? Or are we all on the hate train by now?

I've been looking around, and I realized should be paid more for the work I'm doing with my experience. I thought this place was one of the better payers. Was I wrong?

Looking back, would you join Factset again? I'm curious whether people feel their time here was worth it.

How am I in the minority? It's not the same as it was a decade ago, but this is still a god job, especially considering everything that's been happening in the industry.

SAS (#1 and #2 in the Great Place to Work survey a few years ago) didn't make the top 300 this year. Maybe the layoffs and uncertainty about the company's future are dragging it down.

Xerox used to be a desirable place to work, decent pay, and great benefits. However, after decades of stale salaries they are basically paying minimum wage. If you take a look at the benefits, health insurance used to be worth something, but not it's just too expensive to use if you can even afford the premiums at all. They took our guaranteed vacation days away so now they are only as good as your manager that approves them. And now I hear that the tuition reimbursement program is suspended. Is there really any reason to stay?

• Study finds remote workers are far happier and more productive
• Remote workers reported much higher well-being, but were also less likely to leave their role
• Study also dispels myth that remote workers might feel alienated from co-workers

A survey of 7,704 employees at a large US healthcare organization by researchers at the Leeds School of Business found fully remote workers reported the highest levels of well-being, with those entirely office-based reporting the lowest level.

The findings, published in Frontiers in Psychology, also noted that it was unable to discover significant evidence that remote workers felt any less connected to colleagues or workplace culture, once again disproving the myth against flexible working.

Stay flexible
"This suggests you let people work remotely if they want to work remotely," said Stefanie Johnson, professor of organizational leadership and information analytics at the Leeds School of Business and co-author of the study. "Taking away people's choice of how they work is probably not going to help them in terms of their well-being."

But no bonuses….

2018 Paypal awarded the Comparably Best Companies for Perks and Benefits. 2022 Ranked #1 by JUST Capital for supporting worker financial wellness and health.. 2026.. what award will PayPal win

Thank god this garbage company is gone. The worst run company of all time!

Anyone received a feedback on performance and raise, what was percentage?

The new CEO is going to be amazing! There will not be any more layoffs, the 401k match will go to 12%, everyone can work remote 5 days a week, all salaries will be increased 20%, annual increases will be 10% minimum, and every teammate will get their very own unicorn!!

Or nothing will change for us grunts in the trenches and the new faces sitting in the same executive offices will still get rich off of us just like the ones currently in those offices. It really su-ks to be us.

Is all the bashing of Schwab and its senior leaders here really warranted? There's a reason why Schwab is consistently ranked a top employer in nearly every city where it has a campus. Because it's a really great place to work. The pay is well above average, the benefits are 1st class and the company does really care about its employees.

Now I don't kid myself. I know at some point that Schwab will need to make a decision in its interest that won't be in mine. I come to this site to get an idea of when that may happen so I can plan accordingly. Instead I just end up reading a bunch of nasty comments about how terrible the company is. Last summer we cancelled our lawn care service for financial reasons and now my husband cuts the grass. I would sure hate to think the crew that came out to my house each week was now online badmouthing me like a lot of you are doing to Schwab.

I love Schwab but I'm a realist. At some point they will probably lay me off. But til then, I am committed to giving them my best and so should the rest of you.

Discover/CapOne has gotten to the point of telling employees if they don’t like how the merger is going they can quit.
Rant
These are my opinions only from what I’ve heard from people at Discover. Not working for them and don’t speak for them. Only know what I’ve been told by many people scared to speak up.

The merger has been an absolute disaster. I’ve seen people give out feedback on it only to get shut down and threatened with termination over it.

They went from preaching how this is going to be great for consumers and employees, to now saying well this is how mergers goes and if you’re upset you need to get over it or quit.

They say they welcome any feedback but when you do try to give feedback you get AI responses and then told you’re being too negative if you don’t shut up and it’ll lead to termination if it continues.

Don’t see this going well for employees at all. Kinda seems like they’re trying to get rid of as many people as they can.

No reductions expected?

Everything is working out well for us, and this leadership has never been the one to lay people off just for the sake of layoffs. Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm done stressing over cuts, at least for now.

How much worse off can you be than staying here if they show you the door and send you off with a nice severance package? Honestly?

I have the Sunday night dread starting early on a Saturday. This place drains me.

It’s just sad. This company used to be amazing.

Why are people in their 40s looking to get out of Cisco? I am told Cisco has a very chill environment and people are happy to work there. I am seeing posts here on people voluntarily leaving and it’s scaring me, as I am currently looking to join the company. Do you guys still recommend Cisco?

Could someone please clarify how the “4 good weeks out of 6” policy is measured? If it is tied to the 3‑days‑in‑office requirement, does that mean I would only need to be in the office 12 days over a 6‑week period (4 weeks × 3 days)?

Our team provides 24/7 global support, with all communication conducted electronically and no in‑person interaction required—especially for my role. My workday does not begin at 8 AM nor end at 5 PM, and weekend coverage is a regular part of the schedule. Despite consistently meeting or exceeding performance expectations, I have not received a meaningful salary increase in years, and I cannot afford to live near the office.

For me personally, the 40‑hour monthly commute is unpaid, non‑productive time that could otherwise be spent on work or on personal recovery. As a result, the in‑office requirement feels fundamentally misaligned with the remote, round‑the‑clock nature of the role.

are employees seeing any improvements in the work environment with the new leadership?

Why aren't we earning monthly Verizon Dollars? There's nothing in the FAQ or terms that exclude employees, and my app says I'm earning them, yet I'm not. Surely that measly $10 wasn't all we're eligible for?!

I'd like it even more if there were fewer cuts, but I can't lie that it's not a good job. I think there are many of us who feel the same way, and only mind the frequency of cuts, but otherwise enjoy our jobs (decent pay, decent benefits, great folks to work with, what's not to like?)

What's the point of giving anything beyond the minimum?

I don’t wanna go to work today. It’s not enjoyable anymore.

When researchers examined return-to-office mandates across S&P 500 companies, they found no significant improvement in financial performance or firm value, but a clear fall in employee satisfaction — making the policy’s measurable human cost easier to find than its promised economic benefit

Teradata is a legit great spot if you're a SWE who actually wants to build real stuff instead of constantly refreshing LinkedIn for the next round of layoffs.

You get to work on massive data systems that actually matter to big companies, not some half-baked startup that burns through cash and then ghosts half the eng team. The tech is solid, the problems are hard in a good way, and they're not out here treating engineers like disposable headcount every time the market dips.

Compensation is competitive, the work-life balance is better than the usual grind, and you can actually grow without wondering if your job is safe next quarter. While a lot of folks are still recovering from the last wave of cuts or staring at empty calendars, people here are shipping product and getting paid to do it.

If you're tired of the chaos and want a place that values the people building the software, Teradata is worth a look.
