Its rather pathetic that a company that preaches how the value people and how important they are they constantly demonstrating profit comes before people. Even when they boasted about revenue BILLIONS over forecast during COVID they changed the matrix for bonuses in the 4th quarter to under fund the bonus pool, and not a single person I know got more than a 2% raise (at best). They demand salaried employess donate a minimum of 5 hrs a week in unpaid OT (preferance is 10 + hrs) a former VP, who admitted he only got the job because of who he knew not because he was qualified, actually stated if you dont like the pay/raises/bonuses find a new job elsewhere.
