There has to be be big pay cuts at Exec level

2.5 years/10 Qtrs into Rahuls reign and the company is struggling to grow, thats what they say in meetings and Turnover keeps on shrinking even though the company is highly profitable by squeezing employees pay contracts will eventually run off.

What can be done? Rahul and the team need to take big cuts until they grow, or a new leader needs to be brought in, this can't continue.


Are salaries heading down?

In the reorg last year every colleague that was not on the Standard pay scale had there job posted at a lower level. Essentially getting your same job back now has you maxed out on pay in the same Grade. Has there actually been any type of an overall pay scale increase besides the meager merit raises which have been taken away from most individuals?


Can 2025 Bonus and/or Pay Increase still change?

Talking to my manager earlier this week about my imminent promotion, he warned me bonuses and pay bumps this year aren't as good as he had hoped and to calibrate expectations. Then he commented something like "who knows though, the pool is still changing and may change last minute"

Is that true? Do managers still not have a set amount of money to allocate to people? It's crazy to me that even now it could change.


Pay range for levels have decreased according to current open positions

I noticed when looking at open jobs internally that the pay range for the level where I'm at is lower than what it was last year. These are positions in my current geographic location. My current salary is above the max for my level where last year it was slightly above midpoint. Has anyone noticed this? How are they going to approach salary increases?


Premium Pay for work Christmas week

Did anyone else receive premium pay for working every day last week?

It was brought to my attention by a teammate that he received premium pay for last week. He asked whether I had received it as well and if I knew what premium pay was. I told him I wasn’t familiar with it, but I was happy to help him understand how it would be calculated in his weekly pay. After looking into it together, we learned that premium pay is double his hourly rate.

He then reached out to our manager to confirm, and she told him that she decided to give him premium pay for all of his hard work and asked him to keep it discreet.

Both my teammate and I hold the same position as Transaction Analysts. Our team was short-staffed last week, and myself along with four other team members worked extremely hard and also worked every day that week—yet none of us received premium pay.

I’m genuinely confused as to why premium pay would be given to only one person and not extended to others who performed the same work under the same conditions. I am a strong performer and consistently praised in meetings for my ability to efficiently clear accounts (providing context, not bragging). Despite this, I am paid at the minimum wage level while also taking on responsibilities typically handled by managers, while others on the team earn more.

This situation feels very discouraging and honestly may be my breaking point. I’m struggling to understand why premium pay would be selectively given rather than applied fairly across the team. I would appreciate any insight or perspective on this. Thank you in advance.


It’s easy to say “just collect the paycheck”

That might work for a short while, but over time it becomes completely mind-numbing and demotivating. It starts to feel like taking pride in your work is somehow shameful. Since we spend basically half our lives at work, is it really too much to ask that it actually means something?

It feels like the whole enterprise is designed to make you dislike your job and prevent you from ever progressing or accomplishing anything of substance. And I mean real substance, not a promotion or a raise. It seems like corporate leadership doesn’t actually want people to perform well, just to stay within narrow boxes defined by shallow metrics. Limited thinking, stuck in numbers and charts.


Target at it again treating employees like cr-p

Distribution centers, sortation center and Woodbury distribution were told that starting Jan 1st we are required to take the new law of an unpaid 30 minutes AND they cannot work longer or make up the time. Everyone is going to lose pay that puts food on their tables for their families. This law was not meant for companies to use it to their own advantage benefit. Target does not care. Most people are losing $1500 to $5000 a year in lost wages. And yet no comment on the news.


What would fix morale for you personally?

Morale is worst I’ve ever seen, and I’ve lived through the data breach and Target Canada. I’m trying to think through what would change my attitude and I’ve got:

  1. Replace all senior leaders with competent, caring individuals that act and speak like real human beings rather than corporate robots.
  2. A 10% raise
  3. More thoughtful RTO rules based on job type/duties and level.
  4. Move Product Manager roles back to the US, and just generally stop moving every gd role over to TII.

I realize none of this is ever going to happen, but it’s nice to dream.
