With several companies giving out $1,000 bonuses due to tax reform, I wondered if SF would share this new wealth with everyone. Then the email came. Reading through the email I was patiently waiting for the credit to be given to tax reform. Reading and reading and was in shock that it was framed as a "gesture of appreciation".
SF was just handed millions in tax cuts but decided to frame the handout as appreciation to all SF employees? In the middle of many employees being targeted, laid off and ran out, that is cold and shameful. We all know that bonus would have never been given out if it wasn't for tax reform.
Everyone affected with the changes should use this as a reference. The moral compass of decision makers is lacking. The changes will be cold, calculated and based on any and all factors. This time around is the real deal. Seriously consider preparing for and expecting the worse. Don't be naive in believing that you are safe. If you are not an AVP or higher, you are not safe. This is not meant to scare you but to educate and motivate to prepare for the worst case scenario.
