Worth a read, esp. the Executive Compensation section. That 1% merit increase will hurt even more after reading that.

I voted no on the golden parachute and compensation package. Probably won’t make a difference though
How on earth is the dipsh-t HR lady making $6.2 million? For HR. Easily the most useless part of the company.
See page 54 which lists the 2024 Executive Sunmary Compensation Table. The executives make a base salary of 1 or 1.5 million a year. If you make 1.5 million a year that breaks down to $57,692 per paycheck before taxes/deductions etc! I can’t even imagine. With all of the different types of stock compensation etc that they get (there are quite a few columns) all of these executives were compensated between 9 and 26 million each for 2024. I’m nauseous. My raise was for 2024 was 1%. But I am thankful and grateful I am still employed…for now.
These people have never worked jobs as lowly as the ones you and I and the others here work, and do not respect to merits of it. That is why you get a 1% merit increase, that's why you barely get paid enough to keep the lights on. Because leadership does not respect your work, and likely doesn't even view you as an actual human like they see themselves, you're just an automaton that exists in their world to them.
