In recognition of all your hard work, you have earned a nice big bonus. Unfortunately, it's too big. After talking it over with the share holders, we don't think you'll know what to do with all that money, so I've decided to reduce everyone's bonus by 5% and keep it for myself. Keep up the good work, and with any luck we can do this again next year, but if you do to good, I might have to take even more of your money.

@11s all salaried workers get free coffee at the Mequon campus.
@143 why only directors and above?
Does anyone know why the 5% cut? How big is this bonus anyway?
@11s only for directors and above
@11m you get free coffee??
@10p free coffee. Before 8am
What are you doing to compensate for the cut? 5% longer breaks, leave 5% early, 5% less effort...
this just goes to show you.. work hard and the only people that benefit are the senior leaders that get bonuses off stock value and profit goals.. they made their bonus plus so to all the VP+.. good job.. to the rest of us.. maybe remember this when they ask you to do something outside of business hours or on a friday afternoon...
Essentially they were not happy that we make money primarily on non-recurring business, but don’t invest anywhere near enough in non-recurring business lines.
Is Rockwell doings silent layoffs AGAIN?I noticed quite a few open for work from former employees. Is this how they treat folks? Or just older people beyond 40 years?
Such a morale ki-ler. I wish they knew how that feels that after twelve months you look forward to finally getting a nice bonus after years of COVID and no bonus and a couple years of mediocrity bonus but NOPE sorry not this year -5% su-kers meanwhile it's all smiles at auto fair next week
@bb that was before Blake announced he was reducing everyone's bonus by 5%, the stock was up almost 5% today, coincidence?
You should ask the shareholder value of Becky-the HR/Legal Sr VP. I would posit it is 0.0. Where is the board? Oh wait, they are sycophantic, old, has-beens
By only taking a meager 5% from a large pool of employees, the senior execs can fatten up their bonuses comfortably.
RA should offer the voluntary buyouts similar to Microsoft.
Instead of Bonus, RA should offer voluntary buyouts to its employees, same as Microsoft.
@bb everyone in tech stock is down bc of AI. Get back to the topic at hand, where's my 5%, Blake. You raved how great we're are doing and then this. You should be adding 5%.
Any layoffs ? Stock is down a lot this week.
@ar I'm glad you asked. I use hundred dollar bills to keep my mansion warm in the winter and since I have three fireplaces, that's a lot of money to burn. I also have to redo my heli-pad, like our products it was not done right the first time, so now it's going to cost twice as much to fix it. When am I going to learn it's cheaper to do it correctly the first time? Oh well, after all I do have your money to burn. Thanks again to my slave labor, Merry Christmas!
Hey Blake, what are you going to do with all that money?
Was about two sentences after telling us what a great year we had. Womp womp. Remember this for next year survey folks
Sad but true, for any non-RA people, this actually happened this year.
