#executiveraise

on the CGL town hall Adam was very excited to tell everyone that executive pay increases were approved by the board so we can retain top talent like him. i think he forgot the rest of us did not get anything.

Companies are no longer here for the good of their staff. It's all about the execs pay and share price. It's all illusion and spin. Everyone for themselves.

Sadly, this is how things are now and people need to accept it. Whenever I see posts that bemoan how the leadership doesn't care about us, I just shake my head. Of course they don't. They care about money. And they get more money by sc--wing the rest of us over. That's our new reality and people should accept it if they don't want to drive themselves crazy thinking how those at the top should "care about us." That's a child's way of thinking.

Santa Rosa City Schools trustees will discuss a $76,000 pay increase. This raise is for interim fiscal chief Luz Cazares. The district recently issued layoff notices to 80 staff members. Cazares is credited with helping the district avoid state receivership. Some staff members expressed frustration over the proposed salary hike.

It felt completely stripped of any clear message or real leadership. It looked like it was generated completely with AI or rewritten so many times by HR that there was absolutely no purpose to it. No numbers, no changes, no future. How did NetApp lose so many important people while the entire leadership team stays onboard?

Glad that George also got a $15M raise yesterday for all his hard work: https://www.stocktitan.net/sec-filings/NTAP/form-4-net-app-inc-insider-trading-activity-d08f092e431a.html

Hemsley - please note: received no raise, while your compensation increased. That delta's super to acept.

I have been with the company for more than a nine yrs, and it is soooo frustrating to see long-term employees treated as though their contributions do not matter. Many of us have lost confidence in management's ability to lead effectively. Repeating the same scripted remarks every quarter does not address the real issue, and employees are tired of hearing it.

People want fair pay, not more corporate language. If compensation does not improve, the company risks losing experienced employees who have carried this business for years.

It is discouraging to see reports that we received nothng while the stock price rises. That only reinforces the perception that leadership is rewarding itself while ignoring the people doing the work.

With the Employee rises of 0% settled for another year its time for the Execs to take their big haul again. Internally DXC give the message that things are bad and they can't afford pay rises, on the Results calls they say all is going great and then go and take their rises. They always take raises at the beginning of the fiscal year, leaving employees at the end of the year. Del bean even goes as far as saying money has been budgeted for employees this year, then the money then evaporates i guess into the dodgy Execs accounts.

DXC Execs are one big lie, Will they get raises this year, whats your guess?

From 1978–2023, top CEO compensation shot up 1,085%, compared with a 24% increase in a typical worker’s compensation. 

In 2023, CEOs were paid 290 times as much as a typical worker—in contrast to 1965, when they were paid 21 times as much as a typical worker. 

That CEOs were paid nearly 10 times as much as the top 0.1% of U.S. wage earners in 2022 illustrates just how distorted CEO pay increases have become.

CEOs are getting paid more because of their leverage over corporate boards, not because of their skills or contributions they make to their firms. Exorbitant CEO pay has contributed to rising inequality in recent decades as it has likely pulled up the pay of other top earners—concentrating earnings at the top and leaving fewer gains for ordinary workers.

Policies that limit CEOs’ ability to collude with corporate boards to extract excessive compensation are needed to prevent the U.S. from becoming a winner-take-all society. These policies could include reinstating higher income tax rates at the very top, using tax policy to incentivize lower CEO pay, making shareholder votes on CEO compensation more binding, and using antitrust enforcement and regulation to rein in the market power of the largest firms.

Mike and Jim both got raises; ~1000 people overall got laid off

Thoughts? I don’t know about you, but I got a sh---y 2% raise and I have been with the company 15 years.

Headline: Qualcomm CEO pockets 15% pay rise as profits fall 45%
How else can CA afford to give himself a pay raise?

Given that Penny has averaged 16-17% for her annual raises the past few years, what do we bet she’ll get for 2026?

I’ll set the over/under at 16.5%. Are you betting higher or lower than that?

Happy betting, y’all 🤠

How does this SLT look itself in the mirror? Long time, bleeding red Xerox people let go today while all the C level execs grab a raise and pad their exit plan. Congrats to Steve, Pastor, Mirlanda etc for running an icon into the ground. Re-invention is horsesh*t. Xerox is dead.
