Did I read the email correctly from this morning. Bands 1-3 no longer are eligible for a bonus??? So on top of job eliminations bonus is getting taken away and it still does not guarantee our jobs are safe? WOW! Way to communicate this before the weekend starts.

@w4 thank you for responding, I was supposed to be promoted to band 4 last year but didn’t because of budget cuts. I hadn’t heard of EIP, so I wasn’t aware that bonuses were based on different requirements, this is good to know.
@b1 EIP is band 4 & above globally with band 3 employees in the management track.
CBP are bands 1-3 in the professional and senior contributor tracks.
Overall depends on what track you’re aligned with. EIP has pre-determined objectives where CBP is based off actual work essentially.
@af can you explain the differences of EIP and CBP?
People, it’s been like this for forever. EIP bonus plan is for band 4 and above or band 3 manager. Everyone else gets the CBP bonus.
Maybe we just be happy that the bonus pool was funded. Given out stock price trajectory, it could have easily been 0%.
@a4 I left because of nasty/toxic/narcissistic coworkers so this actually would be cool.
@OP
In band 3, according to the email, only managers are eligible.
@a6 never mind, I was wrong.
@a4 this is no change from the 2025 measures.
??? I didn’t see that. Can you post what the email said? Thanks.
I 'like' that they included that 10% of 2026 incident pool is based on 'coworker satisfaction' which is in part measured by voluntary turnover rates. So having the constant potential forced turnover/layoffs hanging over our heads which has destroyed morale, you are now going to punish us by taking away potential bonus when too many others leave because they have had enough?
You must have gotten a different email than I.
Mine says 2025 bonuses are funded at 100% and laid out the bonus metrics for 2026.
But band 4+ may not have received an email regarding lower bands.
I think I'm confused, because bands 1-3 were never eligible (outside of a few exceptions of specific career tracks) from what I was aware. Not that this is right, but I also don't think that's new either.
Hasn't this been the case in previous years?
@OP people really are just a number here. Employees are no longer valued. It’s disgusting. If you’re a good or bad employee they just don’t care anymore.
