Merchandising Team Manager

Just curious what’s the average pay for a Merchandising Team Manager or a Sales Team Manager if anyone knows? Like how much are these assistant store managers making when most of them just sit around and do nothing all day!


Quarterly Performance

When the only thing that “matters” is quarterly performance, leadership starts trimming everything that isn’t a number that moves the stock. Pay. Comfort. Flexibility. Those are the first to go.

Directors and VPs play it safe. They tighten rules not because they believe in them, but because they’re scared to stick their neck out. Fear trickles down faster than trust ever does.


Layoffs at GV

They’ve been letting people go at GlobalLogic recently. It’s not a great consulting firm at all - there are serious workplace issues.... i’ve heard reports of unprofessional behavior, managers shouting at employees, and very low pay. They dismissed someone I know, and another acquaintance mentioned a large round of layoffs. I honestly haven’t heard much positive feedback about the company. What’s surprising is that they don’t even offer small holiday gestures like Christmas baskets or traditional treats. . The pay is very low - senior staff reportedly earn around 2 million a month after deductions. the whole industry seems to be declining.


Market Rating in Atlanta

When are they finally going to adjust the market rating for Atlanta from an N2 to an N3? They reclassified Dallas an N3 market, yet Atlanta is more expensive to live in and pay has gone up significantly from what I can see on LinkedIn. I know they cited market pay last time, yet T mobile and Verizon have major offices here and their pay bands are significantly higher than ATT, plus they are hybrid and remote still. When is ATT going to change our market indicator?


Who defines growth?!?

As I reflect on the town hall from yesterday I can’t help but wonder who defines growth? They say associates ask for this but don’t ask what associates mean when they ask for this. Instead they highlight trainings and lateral. Maybe this isn’t what people mean. Beyond this when people apply for lateral roles often there is automatic responses there is not enough experience. This feels like a facade. Do people want more trainings on top of increased responsibilities? Or are people asking for opportunities for more pay and higher title levels?


New Offer

I am deciding whether or not to proceed with the company, I've heard great things but have had great job security the last 5 years, even though pay was really low .. I'm looking to build a career, obviously with more pay but I see that the company goes through layoffs or working arrangements can be a hassle.. if I were to compare to another company that possibly starts with an H.. what would you advise?


What's up with HTHD / Sal grade 2

Appears to be arbitrary in that folks with less technical work than me have it, folks equivalent to me in technical work have it, some folks that are more technical than me don't have it, some orgs hand it out like candy and others like mine seem to distribute it with a tight hand like its a promotion. Doesn't seem to make any sense and wondering if anyone can shed light on it.

Just a shame something so arbitrary can have a significant impact on compensation


Why So Surprised?

All these posts the last few months really confused me. I left Jones in 2023 after being there about 5 years. Easy job but no real money, went to FinTech and TC is three times my Jones pay. Jones is a glorified pyramid, everyone in the finance industry knows that. That's why they only get people from Citi, the worst bank in the country, they just come to get a piece of the pie off the back of the FA's before it's too late. Calling it a "partnership" when nearly all of the profits goes to the GP's, OK partner. You do the grunt work, they make all the money. If you've been there years you already know that so why be so surprised now? You thought being at the bottom of a pyramid made you matter? You thought eventually you will be at the top too? If you don't get hired from the outside you will never be promoted unless you are a white woman, they get a little DEI without getting too dark around there. Don't be mad at people at the top, they were not hired to be good, that's what YOU are for. You work, they take trips..
THE BOTTOM EXISTS TO FEED THE TOP. If you aren't smart enough to leave just make your pennies before the place implodes when someone really investigates it

What this place does best

They have mastered the art of rewarding cuts instead of effort. Executives keep cashing in while employees lose benefits and customers lose patience. Every quarter it’s the same flashy story for investors while the rest of us deal with the fallout. It’s hard to see where any real future fits into that plan.


What happened to this place?

We're drowning in management layers. Every issue gets passed up the chain until nothing actually gets done. They talk about being efficient, but you have a dozen people giving orders and no one helping. The pay structure is all over the place and new hires are completely lost. How did we even reach this point?


With our bank's Q3 net profits soaring to record highs, curious about employee expectations for bonuses and pay increases in the coming year

  1. What bonus percentage (as a % of your base salary) do you expect for the end-of-year payout?

0-5%
6-10%
11-15%
16-20%
More than 20%
No bonus expected
Not applicable (e.g., not eligible for bonuses)

  1. What pay increase percentage do you anticipate for the next performance review cycle (e.g., 2026 base salary adjustment)?

0-2%
3-5%
6-8%
9-10%
More than 10%


The Ubiquitous Commission Trap at Dell

Dell keeps telling sellers, “Don’t worry about your quota, just go all in.” But the truth is, quotas keep climbing, pay keeps falling, and the rules always tilt in the company’s favor.

When will Dell step up and care for the people driving the revenue?

Every quarter a few “token” sellers get held up as proof the system works. The rest are left grinding harder for less, eating ramen while leadership celebrates the outliers. Everyone knows it’s BS.

The question is simple, how long can Dell keep bleeding its own people before something costly takes more precedence?
