If Ben hadn't retired and was still CEO what do you think the company would look like right now? Much difference?

Trying to gauge if I’m fairly compensated. Technical role (think geoscience). Are the recent salary entries on Glassdoor roughly in line with your numbers, for the same yoe? Feeling underpaid and currently looking elsewhere.

Our economy is more finance, speculation and magical value than anything else. Innovation, research, breakthroughs, knowledge, production, are all apparently for a--holes. When I see how much “leadership” is being paid for extracting cash and moving... — read more 

Post-Reshape, I remember some departments explicitly announcing DEI change stats - before and after reorg, implying it was a big deal at that time. Is it still a strong factor or is it more a secondary/tertiary factor ?

One silver lining of this wave is that the management is more impacted than the rest.
