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.

All of our systems are breaking down or don’t work anymore; career connect went from useful to a piece of cr-p, our recognition program lost all the points, the pay system that doesn’t allow you to get clear how much you got paid… it’s all on a downward spiral. Am I wrong? This is brothers Darren’s leadership and it’s going to bite

While the new commission structure promises more pay when you hit 100% of their goals, I feel as if people are not getting paid on about 75% of the commissionable work they do. We all know there are slow months and better months, this new system doesn't account for any of that. Is this the quiet firing that everyone is talking about?

Bonus and pay increases are in! What’s the general consensus?

No idea what is wrong with me if I can't keep a job at a place like this

No equity refresh this year for me. Base increased measley 2%. CIP 9%.

I'm furious right now. A damn pay cut for more work due to lost colleagues. I miss them so much...Trying to get out of this shithole mass applying

Resigned
And still qualified for unemployment insurance payments.
That says a lot.
How terrible the company is.

I'd like to determine if I'm being underpaid, but I've been hitting a wall when I try to bring up the subject of pay.

Did Polaris mess up my email copy of my paystub? How do I set it up again?

This department should be dismantled. They do nothing for anyone. They are on yellow status all day long. How much do they even get paid?

Curious what the ceiling really is here, because mine didn’t exactly change my life.

Any thoughts or insights on the business deposits team under Chris Starr? I recently applied for a position. Pay range is great but I’m wondering what leadership is like.

I see a grade 14 in Minneapolis advertised at $98,000 - $115,000. That seems kind of low, especially if they don’t offer $115,000. I know grade 12’s making over $100,000. This company is cheap and a dead end. Thank you Gunjan!

Anyone notice this year their pay seems a bit lighter? I'm all for not having to pay at tax season but in this economy I'm not willing to wait until 2027 to get my money back from the government. Would prefer payroll figures out their error and fixes it.

did anybody else get this email? is it legitimate, what's it all about?

They just asked us to fund their political agenda. With our own money. 🚨

Leadership held a call with Senior Directors and above asking employees to personally donate to one of the Political Action Committee that Altice USA recommends — that fund lobbying politicians and shape policy to benefit the company.

No reimbursement. Not a single cent back.
What do we get? A virtual badge. And “bragging rights” for the department that donates the most.

They claimed whether we donate or not has no influence on our employment, but I highly doubt that.

So let’s be clear: the company wants US to dig into OUR paychecks to fund THEIR political influence — and the reward is a digital sticker.

One change customers might notice is expanded options for leaving tips. Starbucks said customers will be able to tip through Mobile Order & Pay and when using Scan & Pay at the register. The company expects the new tipping options to increase baristas’ pay by 5% to 8%.

What's the highest increase you got, outside of a promotion?

Is belk giving a 2% raise this year ?

If so when?

The wording is a bit vague, "you will remain an oracle employee until 4/10" and "Your benefits will continue through 4/10".

Given that ICs fill out pay slips, I'm unsure if this means I am being paid until 4/10, or my benefits are active until then.

I am looking to make a heroic return to State Farm. How have things been since 2020 after I left? Has the pay gotten any better? I'm looking at working as a Software Engineer as the market is too brutal right now and this place is my only hope. Is the interview process still easy?

I'm hearing a nasty rumor that our paychecks may not come on April 15th as a result of issues in the system migrations. They're throwing any available resources at it but much like the W2 issues this is quickly becoming a trend. This must be what winning looks like

I'm not even trying anymore. If they want to fire me, I don't care. I'm not paid enough to work hard or give a damn.

They’ll say it’s better than nothing 2% across the board No incentive to go above and beyond Bonus should be good though Guess they just didn’t want any permanent base increases
