Change expectations, watch the company grow
I wonder what would happen if leaders at all levels in the company had their performance and bonuses solely based on how well they led their teams. Take bottom line business numbers out, feed those through individual contributors, and if you’re a leader you are solely measured on your ability to lead! Measured through TTUS (and p.s., stop asking bullsh-t questions you know aren’t targeting the truth), you measure through attrition and actual employee satisfaction surveys. Oh what a concept and how things would change, real fast
Yay a bonus
No, not at Truist of course.
After two consecutive years of $0 bonus at Truist I'm happy to report that the bank I am now with is giving me a 5-figure bonus + 4% raise (and I've only been here 6-months). Would have never happened at TFC!
Cheers to greener pastures.
Any information on promotions and merit increases?
I heard people are being told about their bonuses, merit increases and promotions in March and it will take effect in July. Is that true? Please share any information you have or your experience if you got this update.
This place is so cheap
Employee appreciation week yay! You guys should throw a party for everyone on the team - no budget given. So we pay for our own party - yet again I might add.
Combine that with 4 years in a row with an exceeds rating and getting far less than 2% raise. Oh great, I can take my family to McDonalds once a paycheck (barely).
I’m just done with this place. No matter how much I deliver of performance, that’s the best you can do? Never any Connection awards (what’s that?). The exact same bonus as everyone else, no raises, no promotions.
You don’t take care of your people, treat everyone like trash, you are not paying a fair market wage (we are the lowest in telecom), no budgets for anything, yet they waste billions on failed deals, waste millions on stupid marketing stunts.
I’m just fed up with this place. Nobody should come work here unless they are desperate.
F1 RB Sponsorship Deal
How many jobs did it cost to pay for the new RedBull sponsorship deal?
How many bonus won’t get paid to send the execs to watch F1 races this year?
Resigning after Bonuses
How soon after getting your bonus can you resign? Are there clawbacks?
Raise A Disappointment
Bonus payout was good but anyone else get laughable salary adjustment?
Bonus Structures
I’m hearing stories of some colleagues across the business receiving contractual bonuses and some not, even though they are in the same position. Does anyone have any info on this? I imagine it was due to different LOB’s now being merged but seems slightly unfair?
Yearly raises?/ bonus? Anyone hear anything?
Anyone hear anything?
Bonus payslip??
Does anyone know where to find our bonus payslip for this Friday? I’d like to see the actual amount and there’s nothing on Workday - of course.

mid year advance posted

Bonus check after layoff...
I was laid off back in January. Last year, I got my bonus check around the 3rd week of March. Is that a reasonable expectation after getting laid off?
compensate announcement
Anyone know their salary, bonus, promote or layoff already?
Official 2026 Comp Thread
How did everyone fare? I got a 2.7% merit increase and 105% bonus. High band 4
STIP
Can someone explain the new STIP policy? Former employee here looking to collect their bonus.
Compensation/bonus, disappointing but unsurprised
Got my compensation letter today. I didn't expect anything great, but a 2% increase is disappointing; it doesn't even cover inflation. And the bonus has dropped so much from previous years, it gives you no motivation to go out of your way and 'exceed expectations' anymore. It seems like it doesn't really matter, since you're at the company's mercy and whatever they decide to give your department.
Definitely looking for a new job, outside the business. In the meantime, just doing my job exactly as specified, no more, no less. Not going out of my way anymore, thats for sure...
YE bonus %
Looks like our bonuses will be paid at 143%
Bonus week!
Between company cutting costs, restructuring, and all the AI talks.
And yes, bonus week...let's discuss!
What does a VP bonus and LTI look like?
Anyone have insight to this?
Bonus for Separated employees
Is the payout usually below the full target? Company prioritizes full payout for current employee only?
What was S&T / corporate team score?
Curious based on how bad foods and drinks bonus % are. How did corporate do?
Bonuses and raises
Looking like bonus is happening but not full amount. Does anyone know what % of your percentage they are paying?
Does anyone know what raises look like this year?0-2%? More?
has anyone who got severance but not a prorated bonus payment
Got severance last November and still haven’t got prorated bonus payment. Got the severance payment within 4 weeks. Has this happened before? Everyone I asked got the bonus payout. How to ask why, when and to whom?
Thanks.
API
Bonus payouts and merit increases were small this year. Idk about you all.
Merit increases and bonuses
So when do these things happen if at all. Reviews just wrapped up but I haven't heard any information on that piece. Anyone know?
No more bonus???
Did I read the email correctly from this morning. Bands 1-3 no longer are eligible for a bonus??? So on top of job eliminations bonus is getting taken away and it still does not guarantee our jobs are safe? WOW! Way to communicate this before the weekend starts.
“We put people first” sadly you’re not their “people”
There is a strong emphasis placed on accountability, performance standards, and meeting deadlines, with clear consequences when expectations are not met. Annual performance scores and compensation are directly tied to those metrics.
Given that standard, it is concerning that the organization provided only one week’s notice that the largest bonus of the year would be delayed by an entire month. The communication was limited to a generic platform notification, with no direct leadership acknowledgment or explanation.
Additionally, the messaging shared on internal earnings calls often differs in tone and substance from investor communications, which are delivered prior to company-wide updates. That contrast creates confusion and erodes trust.
Delaying annual and Q4 bonus payouts by a full month, particularly without transparent communication, raises valid concerns about financial timing decisions and prioritization. Compensation is not discretionary recognition; it is earned performance pay.
When accountability appears to operate asymmetrically, it impacts morale, credibility, and ultimately retention. High-performing employees expect alignment between standards set for them and standards modeled by leadership.
Bonus hits tomorrow
Bank accounts will be topped up tomorrow !!! Who’s quitting, where are you headed, and do they have room for more SPAM?
AIP notice was supposed to be today, or not?
I guess I thought we would hear something today. If it is decent, I also find that a bit odd given all the layoffs underway this year.
Make USB pay
Just a reminder that with bonuses coming up, it’s a great time to donate to your favorite charities through the now sort of hidden and hard to find Community Possible Employee Center and force USB to 100% match up to $2,500 worth of charitable donations.
I figure it’s one way to make up for the pathetic or non-existent merit increases while donating to places that need it in these troubling times.
Devon looks to be starting cost savings with Coterra bonus’
Devon may feel better knowing that Coterra employees got railroaded on bonus pay. Blood is In the water, and expect our efforts in the toilet. Moral is gone, can’t imagine any efforts or above expectations. Let the quiet quitting begin. OKC may keep its strong presence after all. Figured it may let someone other side feel better. I hear Devon payouts were business as usual. Congrats!
2025 Earnings
Profitability improved more than $2 billion year over year, with net loss totaling $194 million in Q4 and $747 million for the full year.
Looks like Gil and his top executives deserve bonuses for only losing $747 million for the year.
Upcoming Layoffs after RTO ?
Will there be layoffs in 3rd or 4th quarter after RTO attrition and after-bonus retirements? I’m thinking the aforementioned won’t be enough to avoid layoffs.
Does it increase shareholder value to make your employees hate the company they work for?
Just wondering what the goal is of McKinsey and co to destroy employee good will as much as they can.
Every person who takes pride in their work learns to not only stop giving a sh-t, but extract as much as they can from the company out of pure spite. Every department has people deliberately making mistakes and slowing procedures down out of PURE SPITE because they hate this company.
When you first start, you wonder at the incompetence of literally every team around you, but then you are adopted into the culture. The culture is: Smile while doing everything possible to make the company worse and the people around you’s jobs harder. This a joint effort, and eventually you fall in line.
Senior leadership is involved in this joint effort, they pass down initiatives that they know will fail with a smile and a song, and everyone nods enthusiastically, with the same smile, and the grunt employees smile a painful grimace as they purposefully make the process even worse than it would have been initially out of pure spite. But they are still smiling, that’s the important part. Their middle managers get their bonus, the senior leaders get their bonus, everyone smiles and money flows, wasted on infinite vanity projects and processes that don’t work.
Had you asked employees who do these processed day in day out if they might work, they could have told you from the beginning. But these employees likely did express concern at one point, years ago, and learned that that is NOT the Schwab way. The Schwab way is to keep your mouth shut and smile. Everybody knows they don’t work, but that is not important. What is important is that you smile some that whichever C-Suite gets applauded for fudged numbers from their vanity project.
I don’t know how clients think our customer service is wonderful. Everyone I talk to hates their job and is confidently incorrect. It takes me, on average, 10 hours of extra work a week to fix simply mistakes made by other department. I can call five different departments and receive 5 different answers. I don’t blame them, Schwab provides no training (too expensive) and no motivation. Hurting the customer and internal business partners seems to be the only way to lash out at the company that clearly hates you.
Major Talent Exodus Following Bonus Payouts
The largest employee migration in Bank of America Company’s history has begun following the February bonus and 401(k) contributions. While some employees are waiting until the end of March for their RSUs to vest, many senior leaders are departing after receiving substantial bonus payouts.🤫
