Do you know that executives are not part of the new Performance Management? I spoke to an HR colleague yesterday and she mentioned this to me. I was shocked. It seems that the automatic calculation only pertains to T1 to T5 employees. Executives in the areas are above that and their compensation is not part of this calculation. Because of this, most of them got high increases (up to 10%) in their salaries as well as more RSUs than employees. So, these greedy people are taking money away from the employees so they can get more. They are the ones that "make the laws" and employees aren't allowed to complain. She mentioned that compared to earlier years, the budgets for employee compensation was lower in ratio to executive compensation. This makes me so mad.
So here's what I shall do. No matter the consequences, I am giving my honest opinion in the Unfiltered. I know it doesn't make a big difference unless we all do it. But let us not give in to the pressure this time. If we are frustrated, show it in the Unfiltered. If you didn't fill in the survey before, do it this time. If you did and gave good ratings because you were afraid, show your frustration by being honest in the reviews. The Unfiltered results will be picked up by news outlets and they are sure to run stories on how much confidence the employees have in management. It has been steadily declining but the tipping point will be if it goes below 50%. I am sure that will be a big story. And I am also sure they will change the survey questions or frequency after that.
