JJ Watt questioned Pat McAfee's reported $100 million salary during an appearance on McAfee's show. Watt asked if the large payout meant others were being fired to fund it. This occurred as ESPN announced significant layoffs, impacting several well-known personalities. McAfee acknowledged the narrative but defended his team's work. The comments Watt made were reportedly removed from the show's YouTube upload.

I got 38 cents is that normal for raises I feel like we should get more specially to adjust to the cost of living 38 cents does not cover the cost of live g at all.

Quick question. We are salary employees, we have recently been required to work holidays with only a 15% diff, if the holiday fall on the weekend. If it falls during the week we get no additional money. Also we are required to stay late, people are missing lunches and breaks to get all the required work completed. However if there is no work in the queue we are still held to the same production metrics. Now we have recently found out that if for some reason we have a loss of power or internet access, we must flex the hours or take pto. It seems like the salary benefits only favor the company and leaves the employees with no work life balance.

I heard that most of the experienced people we laid off recently were immediately snapped up by a competitor at a much higher salary. If that doesn't show how clueless our leadership is, nothing will.

I was trying really hard to get laid off as my EU severance was considerable. I managed finally to get my hard earned money. I do not know what to do with it, just sitting now in bank and ETF fonds. And I have new job with 50% more salary and 20 times more work. Instead of doing minimum/nothing and have 2 hours of meetings per week, one with indian team I lead and other with American manager (who was also laid off recently), now I have to do 40 hours/week and quite often I do few more hours in evenings and weekends. No time to practice guitar anymore, while I worked at dxc I spent my working hours playing... I wish I could again have such a nice work like I had in DXC. If they are hiring, please let me know..

Ayman was given the okay from the board (including approval on HUGE spend) for what is unfolding now for F27. The caveat is that these investments must grow the business in each product group by 2%. To be clear, not an overall %, but each sales BU must show a minimum of 2% increase in sales. This investment is the cost associated with the new GTM planning and execution (a big chunk of that $$ is that all of these leaders now running the geos and various markets plus the new reports to Ayman received huge salary increases amounting to millions), $$ SKO participation, using consulting companies to help get the company on track ..surveys, planning models, etc...). The reason for all of this is the board expects to see the stock double from where it lands after final f26 results announced. The rest is moot. They don't care who resigns, they don't care whether anyone is paid what they are worth, they don't care about cost of living increases. They are going to THROW a huge and ongoing level of pretend value to employees like access to full copilot, fluffy virtual clubs you can join including those for underrepresented employees (women, minorites), surveys to get your opinion, all to convince sellers that they are behind you and your success as you face huge quota increases. Non sellers - if you make it through the end of the calendar year (2 more planned WFRs, names in boxes already), expect fewer peers and more work.

Ayman and the senior leaders get huge $$$ if they make this 2 % increase and if Ayman fails, he and his ELT get replaced.

Expect major increase in inspection.

Board is still making decisions. Ayman is their puppet.

My manager just notified me the pay raise this year. An awesome 15% hike.

Anyone who has gone through it have the pay? I've heard multiple things.

what is the base salary for these positions at Verizon?

I am looking to apply to these positions in Florida.

How much do they pay?

I made a promise to myself I'd be out of here months ago. I've tried everything but every offer I get pays way less than what I'm currently making. I'd take a cut but not that much.

Last I saw, the pay range for senior BECs was something ridiculous like $78k to $130k. How much does the average senior BEC (or even lead BEC) actually make?

Unionized workers at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike. This action follows ongoing negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement since December 2025. The union, UAW Local 2110, seeks to address healthcare costs and inflation. They propose significant salary increases and reduced healthcare costs for lower-earning staff. Museum management has offered a different four-year contract with smaller raises. No specific strike deadline has been set yet.

Even when I was still employed at WF several jobs posted did not list the salary. I had to email the recruiter listed and ask them what the pay was. I've found that this behavior has increased and not just at WF. Is saying you want a job for the money really so taboo? Why would anyone apply for a job when they don't know how much it pays?

As part of re org, I noticed that some associates who were previously managers are now individual contributors. Was this a demotion or a lateral move? If it was a lateral move, does that mean their salary remained the same?

what a joke. I definitely ain’t going to the office

What percentage are you getting on your salary increase? when will you know?

These are being published on NA jobs now on the intranet

The US is so much higher than Canada it's crazy

Hi there, the company I worked for has been bought by Accenture. What can you tell me about Accenture? Is it a good place to work? Flexibility? Overtime? Career plan? Salary? Etc.

Looking to hear data from actual employees about on-cycle and off-cycle raises? Meaning, has anyone ever negotiated a raise that didn’t coincide with the early December salary treatment supervisor discussion? I’m interested in hearing if you brought a competing offer to the table? What % raise did you ask for? Did you receive it? What time of year? Also interested to hear if anyone negotiated a higher raise % “on-cycle” meaning you did it at the early December salary treatment discussion. Any insights welcome.

Is the VSP in lieu of salary until September 1st or would we receive salary and the VSP offer kicks in at sept 1st?

I think the number one thing that bothers me more than their delivery are their low a-s salaries

This company can't be trusted. If you make too much money or someone doesn't like you, you're probably a target. In some divisions you have zero job security no matter how good you are. Start looking for a new job now and save up a rainy day fund.

What’s a typical monthly salary for GC16?

Gas at $5.50/Gallon + Doubled Car Insurance Rate + Kids, Family and the 2+ hours traffic, but a bare minimum salary..this is majority of us 60,000 employees vs. Gunjan and CXO suite making Millions a year,Luxury travel to and fro paid and expesned to the company. They are the to set the RTO policy but do not have to worry or comply it, its the 90% of us who have to bear the brunt.

OUR (60,000 employees) Necessity is the mother of this invention (leave powered locked laptops at work in secret places), given no other company demands or measures Talent and Performance by the Timestamps and not actual delivery or management of aspects. STUPID and DuB GOONjan and CXO suite

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

I left EM a little while ago to move to booming data center industry where they need capital projects people and pay better

Do some research and apply. Why not see?
Base Salary a little lower than EM but more than made up with near term cash and stock

Example. CL27/28 with 15 years experience can get you this
Base: 250k
Annual cash bonus: 20%
Stocks: $800k-$1.2M spread over next 4 years. No ridiculous 3 and 7 year waiting to get couple hundred XOM shares.
Basically $500-600k+ per year
And even know some CL 28/29 folks that are looking and can get closer to $800k all-in.

Or you can stick around and work with disrespectful people like Dan W or Carman M!
Good luck!

If I worked there I'd be angry at how many top admins make twice the salary of similar admins at other regional colleges. No way should they be doing layoffs of lower paid staff when they have 8 people making $200K-300K at a college of only 1600 students.

Not shocking however predictions show more layoffs across the economy and that is really not good for anyone regardless. Salaries likely not going up much either.

Can anyone explain to me the actual process and math used for benchmarking of compensation for employees and executives?

Heard that it’s going away and that an email is going out next month with detail. Anyone hear anything else?

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.

How is this possible?

Asking for a friend.

How much are they making hourly?

Oh well, two previous managers said the same then happened a reorg, then the next manager said the same, then another reorg, now the new manager says the same. No Focal for a 6 years in a row.

I have an offer thats paying 20k less and its in person. considering taking it for sanity. someone talk me out of it. all things considered, I can afford the salary hit with relatively little changes other than amount saved.
