Ayman Prove Employees are the Most Important Asset

Take all the bonuses away from M4 and above.
Make all M4 and above take a 3% pay cut.
Give all M3 and below a minimum of a 5% raise.
Then we will believe that you truly understand we are the most important assets the company has and that we need to be compensated.


Honeywell Technologies positioning for layoffs

Over the past week there have been appointments, a new hire and new role assignments as HT repositions leadership. This is typically the precursor to mass layoffs. The layoffs will be starting in 3-4 weeks and continuing right through the holidays. This is especially important at year-end so we can all get our enormous bonuses. Don't worry about us, we make tons of money and will have no problems providing our families with a very nice holiday season while you, the proletariat, will have to dip into savings, take early 401k distributions, drive rideshare to make ends meet and generally be in a very bad position financially until another opportunity comes along.
May the odds be ever in your favor.


This year holiday bonus

Just for planning purposes this is my first year as FTE with USAA, does everyone get a bonus holiday check if the company awards it per year? Are there any exceptions ? and which paycheck does it usually land ? November or December ? Thank you


lawsuits

Team,

I am looking for a good law firm that is interested in pursuing a case against Oracle for how are evaluating people's year ends reviews and how they are calculating ATV/bonuses. Anyone have any referrals of good law firms with a winning track record? Yes, I am still employed with Oracle but who knows by next month.


Home office compensation

For decades, Edward Jones’ home office compensation and benefits have been well below average. 20% below-market salaries and bonuses; terrible health benefits; stingy PTO; a pathetic $500 401(k) match. Although there’s a heavily-trod path of young people passing through for a couple years just to get licensed before departing to greener pastures, the firm’s always managed to keep enough people aboard with stability, work/life balance, and other pleasantries. Now that the niceties have been dispensed with, and there’s creepy, grubby tinkering with partnership stakes, what’s left to attract and retain talent? Food days, balloons, accolades scrawled on construction paper with gold star stickers, and the other dog and pony show fluff don’t cut it. FAs and their clients, not to mention the rest of the world at large, are trading in money, not fairy dust. Management shouldn’t be surprised when existing and prospective home office talent turns out to be the same way.


Rochester, NY - how is it for program/project managers

Considering applying here, but would like insight on current environment for project / program managers/ leads. Based on job postings, would probably work in downtown office. Are there bonuses? Is it worth it since I might need to get security clearance to work there. I currently have a hybrid set up, and it seems L3 Harris requires 5 days in office, would be a major adjustment but trying to see if positives outweigh benefits.


Did anyone actually trigger the mythic FY26 bonus?

Happy August 14th! Now that the official "you must be present to win" date has arrived, did OpenText actually pay out any annual bonuses today? After they raised the achievement metrics last year, I’m genuinely curious if anyone saw 100%, a fraction, or just a big fat zero. I was part of the March spring cleaning and luckily walked away with my prorated bonus fully baked in.Did the rest of you get a reward for surviving, or did the goalposts shift right off the field?


BONUS calculation

Company 125%
Personal 125%
15% of 240K (just an engineer)
The bonus is ?
240K 1.25 1.25 * 0.15 = 54,000

Alternate way for a loser ex CSCO:
Buy 5400 shares.
Wait CSCO from $113 to $123
Profit = 54,00 * $10 =$54,000
Promise you by NOV, it will be $150.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA


I'm excited about our future.. lol

Here’s a cleaned-up, more coherent version that keeps your original tone and meaning:


Rumors started about 60 days ago of a possible CEO change, a bonus for employees after a record quarter, and Mondays working from home.

I’d been hearing the CEO-replacement rumor for a while and was hoping it would happen, but it looks like a big fat no. So when I first heard whispers about a bonus, my reaction was “Oh he-l no… HE-L no.” I was pleasantly surprised when that one turned out to be true.

As for Mondays working from home—I’d be surprised if it actually happens, but I don’t think it’s completely off the table. The company is global and we aren’t needed in the office every day, so it could be a real work-life-balance perk. The whispers about it are growing the same way the bonus rumors did, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

Still, I’m disappointed the CEO is still here.

(And glad you can use an AI agent after having an IT person come in and type it in for you.)


I’m cooked, my SD asked me if I wanted the next RIF package

I believe I’m cooked my manager asked me if I wanted to take the next rif package. He then asked me if I was ready to retire. I’m The only one left onshore for my team so I feel like they’re gunning for me for the next rif. I make $184k including STI bonus. Do you think I’m overreacting?


InAuth / Accertify

I worked for InAuth, which was acquired by American Express. The company was run by a bunch of people who didn’t understand how to manage a software project, create a marketing plan, or exercise any meaningful leadership skills. Management was highly motivated to increase their frequent flier miles and avoid getting fired before their bonuses arrived. Everyone was interested in making money and getting promoted, but no one wanted to fix the constantly-breaking software. Charles Crupper distinguished himself by his inability to understand who the bad actors were, and to believe every self-promoting id--t who came his way. InAuth could be a business school study in how MBA’s should not run a technical company. Stupid is as stupid does.


Optimal month to retire

When is the optimal month to retire in terms of?
Balancing getting bonus, 401(k) match yearly vesting, Vacation payout- including any tax implications.


Executive pay

There is salary, a sign-on bonus, an annual bonus, deferred salary, deferred compensation, and all other compensation. The total pay is well into the millions and easily exceeds any of your guesses. Same goes for your VPs and SVPs.  This is an incredible payout for a bunch of wa-kers whose "strategic" decisions are no better than what ChatGPT 1.0 would produce for the cost of a few dollars.


LP Structure

Why would anyone take this. Here’s a few things I’ve thought about:

  1. You have no control or say over how the firm is run
  2. No covenants and Class B has no rate floor, so you are last in line for any payouts
  3. If something happened in the markets, or the firm is badly run, you have your salary, bonus, and LP at risk, it concentrates your wealth to a single firm you have no control over.
  4. 20% over the last few years might not have even been better than a growth fund, so there are alternatives.

The whole structure comes down to whether you trust the current management or not.

What am I missing?


Additional Bonus

With the massive profits the company is raking in, it might go a long way with the employees who have hit rock bottom morale to give an additional bonus. I know there's a f a t chance of that happening with MW ,but all of us who have suffered through his leadership should get an extra piece of the pie!


It's Not a Sales Position.....Even Though the Title Says Sales

laying off sales staff or putting them on a PIP for not using Dell's AI Sales Chat enough but outperforming their sales quotas is not....well it's not a sales position, it's a KPI position...I smell bean counters and Icahnists...they reduced payouts every quarter this year, were awarded a #10 Billion.... with a "B" no bid contract from the "government" and the day they reduced commission payouts.....was the same day the VP of sales was given a $123 million dollar bonus....'Merica....I've been with Dell since 2005 and have NEVER seen this level of disloyalty from leadership. Leadership gets paid on orders that are booked.....Managers and sales staff get paid on orders that are shipped...there is a difference..


Don’t quit! Make them pay severance.

Hear me out - they want you to quit because they don’t have to pay severance or unemployment if you quit. Hang on for dear life. Do whatever it takes to get your badge swipes so they don’t fire you for cause or dock your bonus. They don’t really want casual collisions or collaboration. They know we are sitting on zoom calls everyday with teams in other locations. Work your 8 hours - no more no less - don’t be flexible for offshore or other time zones. Then they will be forced to make the “difficult decisions”. Don’t be an overachiever. Bare minimum people…


Bonus cut!!!

My manager finally allowed me to talk to HR about a salary increase seeing as I had taken on a lot more responsibility and staff under me.
HR has told me I can have a 7% salary bump but my bonus will be cut by 5%
I’ve not had an increase in 2 years but I’m in two minds. The monthly increase is ok, not good but the bonus cut is terrible. But the way the company was a going will we even get another bonus with the debt they are going to have to pay off.

It pretty much feels they are telling me they either accept it or stay on where I am. FYI I’m not on contract

Has anyone else been thru this process lately?
I’m confused.


EA Executives Awarded Millions Post-Layoffs

Electronic Arts executives received substantial bonuses despite recent employee reductions. CEO Andrew Wilson was awarded nearly $39 million, with other senior leaders also receiving multi-million dollar payouts. These bonuses were reportedly tied to the successful achievement of game development and performance milestones. The company's report detailed successes across franchises like Battlefield, EA Sports FC, Apex, Skate, and The Sims. This compensation structure has drawn attention following the undisclosed number of non-development roles eliminated in the US and India.

Home office meeting was a joke

Their answers to questions were so bad. They are so disingenuous. There feels like there is so much more of a push to do more work and their answers are just around that they do so much research on pay, bonuses are good, etc.

We don’t buy it. Why even act like you are being transparent when your answers are so bad.


Bonus Targets

Even managers have been kept out of the loop as to how these targets were calculated, so I thought it would be helpful to try to crowdsource some info and come up with a model. If you don’t mind, post your target here and some info about your role. Dont be too specific as we want to maintain our anonymity. I’ll start: 12%. Front line manager in global engineering.
