I know people believe level up is BS. Can anyone just tell me what Level Up was supposed to be? I keep hearing it mentioned but I am not sure what it really is

@te Level Up is a form of RIF. Each team that is lucky enough to promote someone, gets to RIF 2 people to pay for it.
Just remove this program which is not doing anyway… and give Dan a win…. Oh we are shutting down LEVEL UP as next so called employee benefit or motivation…. POCKET your millions DAN n Paypal buddies, and new Promoted HR Puppets.
@OP don’t worry what Level Up is, you’ll never get one. Think of Level Up as if it were a unicorn.
So essentially it is a promotion without having to apply for the position? I would think that turning it down, as one person suggested, would make you look bad and be more likely to be chosen for layoff later.
Are Al groups and titles included in this?
There is a NEW term now for raises or to QUALIFY for FAIR su-k-together… “SUSTAINED-Performance” as per HR.
Most ADs and Distinguished positions got same level of Stock-together as they used to in prior years… here is the kick most of the Principal and below positions got PAYCUTs for Stock-together.
Sustained -Performance..?? My @$$, then VZ has not clarified what time period—- SUSTAIN PERFORMANCE.
Be careful about accepting a Level Up. Yes its a nice ego boast and it's nice to get more money (salary and higher bonuses). But it also makes you are more "expensive" employee and puts a big Red target on your back. Then when it's time for layoffs, you are marked as an "expensive" employee and will be targeted for layoff. I've seen this happen to many Vteamers. If your boss wants to Level you Up, play it smart and turn down the promotion. Play it safe my friend.
It's basically a promotion, and a salary increase, based on your performance.
It’s when you get the bubble perfectly centered between the lines.
