What are HR doing in EM? Other than low balling us?
Shell - 8% across all locations, all staff + normal bonus
Total - 1 months salary as a bonus + normal bonus
BP - 6% UK, 4% US all employees up to VP + normal bonus
Chevron, ConocoPhillips and all others with a bonus structure will be giving significant bonus to all staff based on earnings and employees performance
And….. EM - 3% to US only which ignores over 50% of their workforce
EM are happy to freeze promotions, pay rises and take 401k in hard times, but not redistribute huge profits in good times and we look like the outlier. I assume someone smart from HR will say we benchmark against others and we have a pension, well I just don’t buy that response anymore. A bit of online research shows all other majors have matching and a pension.
It’s time we fixed our compensation package and rewarded normal employees and distributed some wealth as this will likely improve current moral….just implement a bonus structure!
Also, the RSU program is only really worth something to executives, otherwise it’s peanuts.
Thoughts?
