#pay

On its way Monday 15th June. Let’s all tell Jenny & Rahuuul what a brilliant job they’re doing with their world-class company. Nah, just mention ‘any chance of a pay rise’ in very comment box and advise any potential new joiners to run a mile!!

I mention something, and I get the cold shoulder immediately. I just want to see if I'm being underpaid.

Lots of major names have left the company, and people continue to leave. Probably a combination of the upper management culture (nepotism much…), LT mindset around optimizing and running as lean as possible, and the profit sharing changes which apparently we claimed “entitlement” to and did not work for. And really bad base pay relative to general industry. What do you think?

The company will keep making more money, raising expectations and goals, while my paycheck pretty much stays the same, and benefits get worse.

The least they can do is make the last few standing feel appreciated for keeping the fort held down. They lay people off, they don’t replace. People retire, they don’t replace. Someone on disability? Oh well pick up the slack or you’re next. As I’m working harder and harder I’m thinking to myself how long can this keep going? I mean my paycheck is getting eating by inflation yet I’m working 3x as hard for the same pay while my supervisor takes care of his personal errands during work hours. God only knows what the AD is doing. Never in my life have I been so disappointed by a company. Will we lose all of our employees or our customers first? Only time will tell.

Layoffs in Q1, hiring spree in Q2. Classic.
• “They didn’t eliminate the work. They just eliminated the people.”
• “New hires = lower salaries. That’s the real math here.”

How does Verizon pay out severance once lay off happens?

How many weeks of pay does an employee receive?

I have been retail sales rep for 6 years and i kind of hope to be laid off in July

How many momths of pay do i get?

Has anyone received money yet? This was announced early April.

Waters hasn't been posting salary ranges for US-based roles in MA and California. Pay transparency, y'all! State fines are definitely incoming. HR is messed up. Live your legend!

Xerox Executives Eye Million Dollar Payday if Stock Recovery Holds in 2027. (Google it!)

The Texas Tribune's unionized employees approved their first labor agreement. This deal was finalized after two years of discussions. It guarantees pay increases for all staff and sets minimum salaries. Rules for artificial intelligence use are also included. The agreement provides layoff safeguards and secures existing benefits.

Several high profile VPs, Executive directors etc were laid off last week along with several engineers (count unknown) in the IT org that manages the customer facing tools like xfinity.com, payment and billing, xfinity mobile etc. All affected parties in Philadelphia so far.

I have been thinking about why pay is so broken both in our industry and at DXC, and I keep coming back to two issues. First, companies treat hiring as a cost to be minimized rather than an investment in talent. Second, nobody knows what anyone else is actually making, so we are all just guessing at what fair pay looks like.

Is anyone in Southern California still working for under $5,000 net a month with this level of stress? McDonald’s is paying close to $4k here. Are people really still staying at BofA for this?

According to all the wise writers here, who say the company will never pay out the up to two years termination pay to union workers, I don't ever have to worry about being laid off like non-union employees have to worry about every day. This is just another reason it's better to be union than not. BTW if I am laid off, I get 2 years pay while my manager only gets up to 6 months pay.

If you factor in actual inflation, rather than the numbers the government reports, wages are falling rapidly.

And both political parties share the blame. We have an uniparty anyway.

Have you looked at the price of a new car lately? Or a refrigerator? Or even steak?

As inflation continues to rise, it would be great to see Centene consider a COLA (cost of living adjustment) to better support all their employees. Everything got more expensive except our paychecks…. People Leaders reading this, I’m sure you all need a COLA too!!! Help us!

R2Bs meeting was lack luster. They want them going door to door 5-6 hours a day and only increased at risk by less than $500 a month. They did not increase base pay or offer a vehicle stipend.

Business Sales On Demand will be a big failure for Verizon and Verizon Business will keep taking the blame for lack of performance. I would caution business owners to stay away from Verizon Business till they find themselves, if ever, again.

I wad impacted today after being at the company for 5 years. The one question I forgot to ask was around our annual bonus payout. Since it appears everyone will still be on payroll and “employees” until 60 days from now (July 18th), will we be receiving out ICP bonus payout?

That was a year ago. Now I'd pay that money back with interest just to sleep through the night without dreaming about that "you have a new invite" chime. My old, boring job never looked as good as it does these days.

Has anyone looked at their paystub for tomorrow and it shows 0?

WFH PSC, PSC, RETAIL ORANGE CONTRACT IS ALMOST DONE , AND SHOULD BE SIGNED BY MAY 22nd! THE TOWN HALL MEETING WITH THE UNION WAS GREAT, SO MANY INCREASES IN PAY, BENEFITS, AND BONUSES! WFH IS SECURED UNTIL 2030! AT&T APPRECIATES ITS WORKERS! THANK YOU SO MUCH TELECOM GIANT!

Nothing about this place will shock me anymore. Expect a live able wage.

Hi all, I am still pretty early in my career (4 yrs of experience) but I am on some major projects within my team and I am the only person who knows how to do certain things or navigate certain systems. I asked for plan on a pay raise mid last year since I am on 6-8 projects at a time and deliver quality every time plus efficiency gains, and it’s been crickets whenever I follow up. They only gave me a 5/5 on the review and 3% raise with a sh---y bonus. I know I’m worth more than that.

I am interviewing for different roles externally that will pay me 30-40% more and have a good feeling that I will receive an offer soon. Only problem for me is that I am not sure what to do when it comes to giving my 2 weeks notice. I really enjoy my colleagues and don’t want to put them in a rough spot because we are already stretched thin as a team. I want to prep in advance but find little time to document everything I do in its entirety to help with the transition for my teammates.

How would you navigate this situation? I am definitely taking a new job offer externally and not staying here since it’s left a bad taste in my mouth.

The Palm Beach County School Board approved a 3.5% pay raise for teachers. This decision followed months of negotiations with the Classroom Teachers Association. The district warned 250 employees could face layoffs to balance the budget. These cuts may affect teachers, administrators, and office assistants. The teachers union must still ratify the agreement for it to become final.

Service appears to have taken a backseat with gehc. Management plays the "metrics" game to justify low employment numbers. Even going as far as wanting a .9 FTE which is absurd for field service.

Any prior fe's experience this in their region?

Experianced Field guys are leaving for better pay and less expected OT.

So is the firm just cleaning up the unqualified people that were promoted over being fired during the pandemic? Those are the only people I know who are overpaid. Everyone else doesn’t make what they’re worth

Has anyone had success asking for a larger salary or extra bonus outside of the annual performance review? Since it's this company I'm guessing no but I figured I would ask.

Any experience with being “overpaid” and having to pay the company back? I’ve heard many people over the years having to pay back supposed owed money due to either being paid more because of some pay reconciliation or after having EDB, then between Sunlife and payroll there being a discrepancy. Is this another instance where the law doesn’t apply to this organization? Can they ask and expect money overpaid to be repaid, or is this dependent on how long ago it was discovered? Asking for a friend…

Looks like Payrolland Accounts Payable get to find out their fate tomorrow during a “Leadership Synch” with their VP @9am. The invite did not appear until 3pm today and the AVPs bolted as soon as it came out. Probably not good news. I suspect news for the rest of finance in STL is probably in the works

Florida's teacher compensation ranks 50th among all states. The National Education Association published this annual report. The state's starting teacher pay ranks 19th. Teacher wages increased 3.3% from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026. Low compensation leads to staff layoffs and fewer students.

Anyone know?

Supply chain sent a note to the contractor labor (mostly developers) that it is suspected they are using AI and those gains should be passed along to AT&T. Therefore their contracts amounts must be reduced immediately and every year for the next four years.

Does everyone get a raise?

I looked up my role's pay band last week. I'm five thousand below the bottom number. What do I even do with that information?

Would you take a pay cut to be remote? Or at least forgo your bonus?

I'd do both. Take note MC!

Are you id--t enough for that or should you demand pay more with do less ? Which do you prefer if you decide to stay at ShitTel ?

How bad was it for you?

Everyone is leaving in waves. You don’t have to plan anymore layoffs! 🤭

Word of advice to Chuck.. you want to treat your employee like numbers? Well your employees will treat this company like a number. We’re just here to do the bare minimum and collect a pay check. It’s ridiculous for anyone to even think about working overtime unless we’re not doing sh-t.

Honestly, mine and many others view of this company has soured over the years after witnessing the wrongful decisions management over the years. Cutting top talent and pausing retirement match?

Then you want your pawns to say it’s all part of us adapting into the future?? well, we’re all adapting to the future too by moving to better companies. You’ll be lucky with any talent at the end of this. Vistance is a failing company that continues to use artificial talent in India to replace top Silicon Valley talent.

Cheap out on employee pool, and your company will be cheap too. And to the investors, you all are stupid AF.

Ruckus and arris folks, continue to leave this place 👏 and one last think f you Chuck!

I’ve been at Nike for a while in a level 35, I just assumed directors and sr directors made a little more than me. Then talking to colleagues that are friends, didn’t realize directors make 200k+, sr directors 300k+. I feel like 75% of my team is directors & sr directors and now everything happening makes more sense. Not sure if those numbers are correct, but if they are with the amount of directors and sr directors at the company I understand why we are cutting all these jobs. 4 of the directors on my team don’t even have a report lol.
