#bonus

I just cannot wait to tell my team they are getting 1% merits and minimal bonuses yet the earnings reports shows massive growth for the company. Ranking 25% of my staff below expectations, in a non growth everett location all my promos denied. Lovely to have to explain this to them soon at comp talks. Thanks RV making our job so great! But hey!!! We have Eliza !

2.7 COLA; no corporate factor; no promotions; everyone gets meets expectations.

Don't forget to fill out your common review to highlight all your accomplishments over the year and also submit your peer reviews. If you go above and beyond and are a high performer management will reward you with a low merit score of a 2 or 3 and give you no bonus only to give 3 and 4 scores to those who kiss their behinds and are their favorites. Then place you on a CAP if your lucky only to lay you off. Also, please fill out your survey as they care about your feedback

I’ve been at Mattel for under a year and was wondering how firm the company is when it comes to repaying sign-on bonuses. I’m realizing that this might not be the right environment for me.

Why the he-l is WF making such a big deal about today being the last day to accept the special award and making sure employees accept it. I don’t understand how all this works, but are employees helping to artificially inflate the company stock? I know few people not accepting it out of spite. I mean, 3 years to collect $2k…the argument is, just give me a $0.33 cent per hour increase for the next 3 years rather than making us wait for the full amount when there is a possibility of getting laid off anyway.

There’s been a lot of predictions on here about more rounds. Anyone got any real intel? It appeared the layoff impacted certain teams a lot more than others. It would make sense that the teams that were spared last time will be next in the firing line. Before Christmas and bonuses? How did they decide which teams were impacted more than others?

Every year we get work work and responsibilities and get paid less (when you take in account inflation and less bonuses) f this place

Hi everyone, Quick question, does anyone know if someone who leaves Chevron this coming November would still be eligible to receive the bonus payout in March 2026? I've been with the company for over five years. Thanks in advance!

Bored. I can’t hide the fact that I’m nervous about layoffs. I’ve been with the company for over 8 years.

If you’re open to sharing, how many years did you work for the company, what was your salary at the time, and how much did you get paid? Did it include bonus? What’s the tax percentage they held?

He complained about his long commute, uprooting his family, a full parking lot, no car…typical Ginger stuff. But he didn’t mention the bonus part. Yes, bonuses of over 100% multiplier for many departments. Oh…we can’t mention good news. Yes, there will be change. It su-ks. Get a grip. There are other places to work. You can just quit. No one is forcing you to work for Walgreens. With no car you should have a nice savings built up.

In 2024, Christian Klein, 44, received a €19 million ($19.9 million) bonus, up 165% from the previous year. Eliminating all MOVE SAP and similar programs, limiting bonuses through performance management, reducing yearly salary increments, Project Mongoose, and so on should net him approximately €32 million bonus in 2025. When you compare all of the numbers shared by the CFO and Works Council newsletters in 2023, 2024, and 2025, you get this figure.

I wonder how much he'll actually get this time. Guess we won't know until this information is made public.

What is the supervisory board even doing? Are they also going to make a deal with the board to get good money for being laid off like how the Works Council members did?

Earlier in the year, the bonus level and public guidance didn’t match. To get a bonus we would meet to beat all the guidance. Seems disingenuous from Blake. Not surprising, he is an id--t narcissist. What multiplier will we get and when is he finally leaving. Enough already!

Stop letting the supervisors and managers in here fear you into not doing the survey, or giving false good scores. The systems registers if you took it but the answers are anonymous. Unless you wrote out very specific details or a situation and drop names they will not know it’s you. They won’t give you a bigger bonus, they won’t give you a better yearly review. Be honest and if you fear retaliation reach out to HR and document, document, document. If you want a better work place SPEAK UP! You can’t cry and moan the environment is cr-ppy if you’re going to willing lay in it.

Are those off the table? The only thing keeping me here is the bonus, then as soon as I get that I'm out, unless I'm laid off first. Anyone have any intel if the bonus will happen in 2026, or did those get axed as well.

Analyst program bonuses are a joke😂 are they serious? How do you expect us to want to stay here when you’re giving us a bonus like this? Slap in the face. Don’t expect us to last long

How has everyones reviews gone? Seems a blanket no pay rise/promo/share situation even though its one of the best years we have had which is just disrespectful in my opinion.

I will say that the layoffs on 9/30 are "convenient" from the employer cost perspective. Yet, so were the earlier ones throughout the year. It is hard however to stomach losing bonus and 401k match so late in year. Would be better to just get displaced on Jan 1 - where the emp is not giving up anything.

IMHO, it seems that WF is getting rid of the "undesirables" as well as the ones who don't fit the new location mode. Its all over the board. Yet, we, the displaced pay the price.

The only benefit is, we are gone from the toxicity of the environment, we are gone from the daily worry "am I next...!" thoughts. Is there something better? Time will tell. Will I miss my coworkers? YES. That is an unequivocable answer. YES.

The Wells Fargo today is not the one I started working for years ago. It is completely different. Cutthroat. Conniving. Political BS. Pitting co-workers against each other at review time. Yep. Totally different. I think there must be something better out there. Better for the career, better for the soul, better for learning. Just......better.

Thats my .02 for the day.....working through the grief process and separation process and everything that entails.

Its real.

What are you hearing about the AIP? Is it really at risk? Seems like it would be a slap in the face to those who either elected not to take the VSP or were not eligible for the VSP to take the AIP away on top of everything else.

Saw a guy on LinkedIn who says he got “laid off” with only a transitional offer through January 2026.

How does one know if their offer from HPE was “transitional”? Does it explicitly state as such? My and my colleagues offers were silent on the matter however the titles and bonus were disappointingly low. :(

My Director mentioned that there’s a leadership meeting on October 8th same day as the October Employee Meeting. Only Directors and above are included in the leadership meeting.

This is unfair to the Lead level. Leads are Leaders without direct reports (people management responsibilities), which is a testament that Leads and Directors have the same pay band including target bonus. As such, Lead should be invited to the Leadership Meeting.

Humble request to extend the invitation to all the Leads.

I joined this fkn company cuz of the defined benefit of plan because in my mind it used to offset the PIP/PDS bullsh-t we have to do every year. Well Atleast they don’t do layoffs right ? I mean even tho the PDS system can be biased it can never be soo biased and merit must count somewhat right ?

Now they do fkn PDS/PIPs and do layoffs AND the raises are sh-t. So can someone please explain to me how does this make imperial better than CNRL/CVE/SU ? Fk being equal, I think imperial is the worst of all of these.

Oh and we don’t get company wide bonuses.

so nice to wait till 3 months before the year is over to suspend 401k match while executes are getting big bonus

^^ I'd like to start slacking off even more a couple weeks after that and my bonus info has been submitted. What's the cutoff? :) Pay me to leave.

Do not fill out the OHS survey. The only reason executives are constantly pinging everyone to fill it out daily is because this ties directly to their bonus metrics. The higher the response rate, the more bonus/goal they meet. Hit them where there wallet it is they seriously want to have our voices heard and that they are held accountable for their poor leadership.

I am interviewing for a marketing position. Can someone please provide me any numbers on the bonuses that wealth management marketing receives. The salary is little bit higher than what I am making. HR mentioned the bonus % is anywhere between 25-40% of base salary. This is for SVP position.

Any word on what bonuses look like this year yet? I’m trying to get a new laptop to go back to school and can’t afford it because I don’t get paid enough

Forced to give me 90 days warn
I got job starting week after warn ended
You built policy saying no 401K match or bonus due to effective dates. Lol
Now you get to eat my 30 weeks of severance

Your dirty policies failed. Nice try no cigar.

The last day before Christmas bonus cutoff. Will there be layoffs?

To those affected by the last round of layoffs, Kroger is planned to offer severance.

Personally I was in KTD but they are offering 1 month per yr and x percent on your bonus plus any remaining time off.

I expect to receive the documents soon so I don't know how this effects unemployment claims. Please check your state and read before you sign anything or get a lawyer first.

26 weeks of part pay is a plus but it may be less than your severance so you may need to pick.

Be advised they are not withholding taxes on your severance so account for that yourself or your lawyer (preferred).

Things I’ve heard and seen posted on their sites. I’ve definitely heard about the remote workers being laid off if they don’t relocate, and the multiple support center layoffs. I’ve also heard about 2-3 days back to the office, not 5, but I guess we’ll see.

• Removal of FTO
• If you aren’t at Walgreens when bonuses (if we even get them) are paid out in November, you won’t get one.
• Switching to Business Casual, no jeans or sneakers.
• 10/20: Remote Employee town hall informing them to relocate or they will lose their job.
• 10/21: 10% support center workforce reduction
• January: 30% support center workforce reduction
• January: 2-3 days in office but also heard it may go to 5 days in office

Yes, last week su-ked. And like you, I’m nervous about what’s to come. But let’s not kid ourselves or rewrite history. When the pandemic hit, this company didn’t toss us aside while the economy melted down. We kept our jobs. Some of us even got cash bonuses for basically existing. The same leadership you’re busy demonizing today signed off on that. Funny how that part gets left out.

Now it’s fashionable to cry about the CEO’s salary. Really? You likely knew this was a multi-billion-dollar health insurer with a millionaire CEO at the helm when you accepted your job offer - or when you CHOSE to keep working here week after week. Just like it doesn’t stop you from filling your cart with garbage on Amazon, or ordering overpriced coffee from Starbucks - who, by the way, laid off 900 people last week. Yet, I doubt anyone is forfeiting their Starbucks Rewards in protest. Outrage when it’s convenient isn’t principle, it’s hypocrisy. If empty outrage paid the bills, many in this forum would also be millionaires by now.

And here’s the part nobody likes to admit: nobody is chained to a desk here. The front doors aren’t locked. The exit signs glow for a reason. If this company or corporate America offends your conscience so badly, go build your own empire. Put your brilliance to work. But don’t pretend that bi--hing and moaning are unique skillsets. They aren’t. Babies are born crying. Sadly, some toddlers never grow out of it – then get jobs at this company.

The reality is simple. This company has tens of thousands of employees. Only a handful were let go, it seems. If every single chronic complainer in this forum quit tomorrow, the company would replace them and keep moving. No strategy would collapse. No customer would notice. The machine doesn’t need you (or me) - or anything you have to offer - to keep turning. You are not special. Whining here for validation from other whiny anonymous nonspecials is just sad. And if that feels harsh, it’s because deep down, you already know it’s true.

My heart goes out to anyone whose job was impacted and anyone still worrying - especially those who looked here for answers only to wade through the rantings of people who shouldn’t be part of this workforce, or any other. Good luck!

🚨 Rumor alert! Word on the street is NO BONUS this year for employees. 😡 What’s the tea? Spill it! #NoBonusBlues

If the board put it to the masses for a vote..

Would you vote to suspend ALL bonuses and pay raises for a year to avoid a RIF?

It’s all or nothing, if we vote to suspend bonuses and raises.. nobody gets them.

The facts are WFC is using this site to drive a narrative and fearmonger. The Schart does not keep his word. Employees need to STAND UP BOMBARD THE DOL, Regulators, POLICYMAKERS, AND FRIENDS. Report all the nonsense you are experiencing.

Remember ALL YOU SALARIED EMPLOYEES , IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO DICTATE A SALARIED EMPLOYEE’S HOURS IN OFFICE. STRAIGHT FACTS!!!

Stop letting them treat you like high-school kids. You are professionals. Only thing that wells ever did good qas exploit loopholes since THE Schart joined. This company has become unamerican.

PS, don’t accept any awards. The Terms upon acceptance could be hiding things like how the bonus is paid out etc.

You are professionals, make them treat you like one already.

Message Was to the markets and other industry leaders to justify the upcoming price increases to employer plans. Also to justify the massive 43M CEO pay. Clearly Savings from “the modest adjustment” barely match these massive pay and bonus c-suite increases. Aluta continua

How does this help us? Good people let go! Can’t get an account open in a week so let’s move the problem over here. I don’t think that will help. It’s all a mess. I think this makes it worse. Upper management doing something to justify their jobs and take big bonuses while ki-ling shareholder value. This place is great.

Why do they stop publishing the quarterly AIP estimates? Anyway they report quarterly earnings to Wall Street. Any reason for not telling its employees on quarterly basis AIP?

Why are SVPs and VPs demanding for bigger and bolder targets for 2026? So that they can get their bigger bonus and LTI options?

The company is about to capitulate and come across with the long awaited BONUS OFFER. FREE AT LAST! THANK GOD ALMIGHTY! CWA TECHS GONNA BE FREE AT LAST!!!!!!
