Unfiltered, Performance Management and Executive Compensation

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.

just be advised that there are certain countries where they will give top reviews because their cultural perception is that these surveys are not anonymous and they will be targeted - so results are always skewed by their giving the highest rating in every category. It might be more telling if employees no longer bother. Then they will have 30% giving the highest rating and 70% not responding - which reveals that the survey is just an echo chamber for management to double down on its "strategy".

the current stupid reward plan was designed by an Indian laday who always responded 3 "YES" (it is truly YES YES YES) after anyone's senior than her made a statement. Now she is HPOM....

@a2 Oh yes! Please defend your local millionaires and shut down frustrated employees who are barely making enough money to survive in the old age. Wtf is wrong with you @a2?

Why don't you try to show empathy for OP instead? They are clearly frustrated and are asking for more participation in the survey and for employees to voice their concerns. If you think that the unfiltered survey isn't important, do you have any other solutions for OP? I have had managers who do this and it is very frustrating to be shut down. That is probably the reason OP is posting on this forum instead of reaching out to someone at SAP for help.

It's a mirror into ones own mediocrity if you think the unfiltered survey is important.
