#salary

In full transparency, and in support of everyone trying to navigate the uncertainty right now, I think it could really help if we start sharing salary information. Having a clearer picture of compensation across grade levels and roles can empower all of us as we make decisions and advocate for ourselves.

If you’re comfortable, please share your grade level and salary as well. No pressure - only if you feel safe doing so. The more information we have collectively, the better we can understand where we stand.

We’re all trying to support each other through a really tough time, and transparency can make a huge difference.

I don’t understand on why we are hiring so many folks. In my own department directors salary posted is anywhere from $189k-$289k.

The grift that keeps on grifting. He will consult through the transition.
Plus private jet perks and more for leading the company from 1st to 3rd place.
Will he still have a security detail?
Employee shareholders pay the price.

I just found out that my salary basically stays the same for the past 6 years. How's yours?

Most unions in healthcare and building services only charge 3% or 4% out of there year salary.
I have seen others at Intel fear mongering people by saying union takes 15%, no that's blant lie.

Anybody willing to share their base salary? Personally CL 28 upstream, ~$325k, yee 25.

Why Level 3 make 300K in salary plus 25% bonus.
We have too many of them, and they do nothing.
They spent a year talking about how to put the same technology we deployed more than a decade ago.
Then only presenting slides provided by an external vendor.
Not even doing honest work of their own.
Jokers wasting money, not coming up with anything new.
We are doomed. What is our leading technology?
Ask our Bachelor in Arts Jeremy.

Considering offer as an experienced technical staff member. Can you please mention the salary and YEE?

Back in the day, I used to be able to be nosey and look at salary brackets in Career Intelligence before they shut it down. Honestly, it was pretty motivating, so su-ks to see it is gone.

Anybody know not there is another platform to look at salary ranges?

How long did it take you to move from CL28 to 29? How much of a pay increase did you see when promoted?

Many have commented about Maurice failing as a leader. Like a coach who losses games YOU get fired NOT the team! He needs to watch Xmas vacation on how he affects many who trully care about their work and don't have the luxury of $40,000,000 + per year paid to fail!
Maurice do what Japenese leaders do and cut your salary and costs or resign before Many suffer from your failures that are innocent!!!

Starting an anonymous comp thread.

Is this base on average?

To make move to Manchester from Liverpool being offered old K grade £68k mid point. The old J grade is £54k. I thought they got rid of the J & K bands? But they have kept separate bands? BNYM doing their normal thing to benefit them yet again.

National salary program meeting today, what are the key takeaways?

I’ve been out looking for the past 9 months. It’s tough out there with very few places hiring and if they are salaries way below what I was making. While my work wasn’t always great and I had things to complain about, my advice is try to keep what you have because the options are slim. I thought it would be a lot easier and now would come back in a second and even with a smaller bonus would do better than what others are offering right now.

Be frank? I got 7% once.

Is your salary keeping up with inflation???

Mine definitely is not.

when I look back and adjust for inflation, I realize I am makin less now than I did 15 years ago, even though my responsibilities and workload have gone up.

Costs keep rising and rising and rising --- everything from groceries to housing to basic bills, yet wages do not seem to move at the same pace. It is frustrating to feel like you are working just as hard, if not harder, but falling behind in real terms. Just putting that out there.

Hello,

As the title suggests, has anyone received a pay increase without a title promotion (associate to senior associate to vp or so on)?

I feel like I am underpayed and my contributions to my team are not reflected in my current salary.

Is there anyway to formally request this?

Which one is the most important factor in layoff, is it age or salary.

Two guys with same work function - one is 60, the other is 25.
The 60 year old guy earn less than 25 year old guy.

So on a local level in field can only go by what we see and know.What we saw was low level low pay first line bosses getting riffed .While not very useful they might actually have some use!Yet we saw no upper management like 2nd or 3rd liners who actually do nothing but make misery along with Tons of money!!So what we see is this is all a joke .Dan just needed a bit more cash flow from the bottom of the pile.This just means our next contract is gonna be really fun with Dan since he really loves to Rob the lower paid working groups .While moving in all his over paid paypal buddies!!!

Someone I work with, a friend, was told today is last day.

Can’t they just reduce everyone’s salary instead of layoffs like some cultures do?

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)?

What does it affect? Promotion? Salary?

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!

Salaried workers have big egos and think they're better than everyone else and management will see that and treat them well. They think unions are just to protect lazy losers, when it's really just about fair treatment. Bad employees in a union can still be fired.

A private university in Mercer County will lay off up to 40 full-time faculty members, slash salaries by 14% and make other cuts due to escalating financial problems, campus officials said.

The title explains all, let's put salary band information into this thread.

What are the pay ranges for Verizon Bands 5, 6, 7?

I am going to be laidoff and need to find another job quickly that has similar salary, ie $200k+ and bonuses.

Many years ago the company would publish the range of salaries across pay grades. I haven't seen that in forever. Does anyone have a clue where things stand now for bands 5, 6 and 7?

Anyone know the salary ranges for a Level 4 & a Level 5?

Anyone know how these job levels work and what to expect as a salary? I'm guessing Project managers have more visibility but as an engineer we have no oversight.

Would be good to see if someone can share the information.

Does anyone have any information about what was going to happen in December with compensation? The messaging we got was that it is just a salary update for some people but not for everyone. Initially we had thought it would be across the board.

Is this like CEOs of the business line and up? I found the salary chart and it says 33 and above do not have a pay scale. I assume 33+ negotiate their entire employment/contract with the company then and are not considered like regular employees?
