Asking for a friend.

How much are they making hourly?

Oh well, two previous managers said the same then happened a reorg, then the next manager said the same, then another reorg, now the new manager says the same. No Focal for a 6 years in a row.

I have an offer thats paying 20k less and its in person. considering taking it for sanity. someone talk me out of it. all things considered, I can afford the salary hit with relatively little changes other than amount saved.

Do you know that an average German employee has to work around 360 years only to make an equivalent of what Christian Klein gets as a bonus in a year?

Shocking, isn’t it?

But not really.

In most companies, executive bonuses are a fraction of their salary unless they have a very good year. At SAP, executive bonuses are several times their salaries even with drastic drops in the share price and losing shareholder confidence.

Such high bonuses are made possible because of a supervisory board that prefers to give more money to the board and group executives over actually giving more value to shareholders. Since CK joined the board, there has been a tremendous push to increase executive bonuses and reduce employee bonuses.

There was a proposal to pay executive bonuses in RSUs so their remuneration is based on their performance. But it was shot down by them.

Sales have been trying to get more European government contracts but we’re losing them instead because CK is forcing governments to use Palantir and American cloud companies and they don’t want that.

Product and Engineering has been trying to bring all SAP products together to create a seamless end user experience. But they’re asked to stop and instead put customer data in a memory which is accessible to chatbots from American companies in the name of AI.

Engineers have been learning new skills to be better at their work but they are told that being an expert is no good and the only way to grow is by getting on a management track.

Customers are asking for important features in core SAP products and they are told that they should focus on AI slop instead because it’ll be easier for them to lay off their own employees with the help of SAP.

Employees are just asking for fair salary increases and basic human respect. But executives are treating them as dental plaque that needs to be removed with each cleaning. And executives are doubling down to keep them in fear of losing their livelihoods because it’s fun for them.

Shareholders are asking for SAP to have a decent realistic product roadmap and sustainable growth. But instead, they are getting more bull excr-ment called autonomous enterprise which is just frankly bad marketing. And they’re being blamed for not being open to innovation when the share price falls.

We’ve truly reached an interesting age of capitalism where a handful of people who have many times the wealth necessary for a lifetime are exploiting hard working people so they can amass even more wealth.

Their biggest enablers are the supervisory board and group executives and CK fanboys. Stop supporting these freaks.

What can we do to stop this transfer of wealth from shareholders to the pockets of these executives?

I'm job hunting right now and what I'm finding is that some roles pay well but have mediocre titles while others have great titles but the salary is significantly lower. I wonder what matters more to the people here. The actual money in your pocket, or the title on your LinkedIn? Not that I'm getting any offers yet, but I'm just curious.

Kyndryl has reported salary delays across several countries, citing 'technical issues' as the cause.
However, this appears to be a smokescreen for a liquidity crunch. While employees face financial uncertainty, the company recently spent $304 million on stock buybacks to artificially inflate share prices, effectively prioritizing shareholders over the very people who sustain the business.

H1B and other immigrant hiring salaries are to be revised again and proposal to stop spouse work visa's( H4 visa holders) are in progress. This might give some relief to economy in tough market conditions.

When H1b visa cost more chances are more for employers to hire US students, Citizens and Nationals.

STOP Hiring Foreign Nationals for SMALL Chunks/Chores and Support only High Talented Hires.

I have a lot of bad things to say about Dell, but pay is not one of them. What's the biggest jump you've ever gotten?

Curious..
What was your grade, salary, share amounts?

Hi All,
Some great people are here, and I am looking for your advice on how to negotiate salary and benefits. from North america in prov offer process.
What GC band do specialists get hired on?

Anyone know what the top out pay for this position is? Or how to tell what your top out pay is?

Key Salary Information:

National CWA President: Approximately $244,771–$260,618 in total compensation.Sector/Division Presidents: Roughly $191,137.

Associate benefits:

2% raises / medical cap / no eisp

Does anyone know or can explain their full annual compensation?

Salary and benefits are likely the biggest drivers of these cuts, people talk tech and AI but I am not sure if these are primary drivers... Anyway we (and others) may use opaque AI tools to hit cost-cutting targets, which can overlook performance, tenure, and so needed knowledge. High earners (even strong managers) can be cut simply because they just cost more.

Not sure how much we can change here but we can be ready. Polish your resume and stay alert. Leadership answers to shareholders not us, and layoffs are often the fastest way to cut costs when stock performance drops...

I know most of you are already aware, so I am preaching to the choir.

Fayette County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Demetrus Liggins announced a 10% pay cut. This reduction comes amidst the district's significant financial challenges. Inaccuracies in accounting practices dating back to 2008 were recently discovered. The district's fund balance is lower than previously believed. FCPS will also implement personnel reductions and reduce work calendars.

Based on the leaked salary-per-band range (leaked around 2023, then again later), for people senior enough to have spent decades at Microsoft the annual salary is well over 200,000 per year.

For anyone receiving severance and has seen you paystub. Is it being reported as salary continuation connected to specific date range each two weeks or no specific dates shown on your paystubs.

Sure, AI has it's place, but it's not a solution for everything. Employees are raising real, valid concerns: rising costs, the need for more flexible work arrangements, job security, and clarity around salaries and bonuses. Redirecting those concerns to AI is just proving, yet again, employee input isn't being heard or valued.

Anyone from the previous round willing to share their age and salary grade? Curious if the same age groups or grades are being targeted in the cuts rumored for today.

So, I have confirmed it with multiple colleagues. Apparently in the last few weeks some of them indeed received salary raises, surprisingly nice ones. If you still haven't received, that means you have been skipped. What is weird - these raises do not follow any pattern, some best performers were skipped, some people who do not have "friends" in management granted, tenure also didn't matter. Seems almost random. I have no clue what this company is doing and it seems they also don't know it...

Does anyone know how much Houston P66 traders get paid for total comp of base and trader bonus?

SE II- 140k - phk

What level do you need reach at SAS to get to $400K annual total comp?

vs salary and comp?

anyone know?

Question for those late in their career. I expected my biggest raises to be early and at some point to max out and then just keep up with inflation. Has this been your experience? What age did you max out? Have your raises kept up with inflation or are you making less each year when considering inflation as you approach retirement age?

I'd like to determine if I'm being underpaid, but I've been hitting a wall when I try to bring up the subject of pay.

it used to be in December but the company skipped last year and heard they moved it to this coming May but i haven't seen any email regarding promotions and salary raise. does anyone know?

I am trying to decide if I should resign or stay. If anyone can provide insight into salary range for CL 28 and 29 that would really help me out.

Will he do better than DF did at Ford?

“General Motors Co. wooed new executive Sterling Anderson with a $40 million hiring package to leave his Silicon Valley autonomous vehicle startup and join the Detroit automaker in 2025, according to a financial disclosure filed Monday.

Anderson received $16 million in 2025 as the company's executive vice president, global product and chief product officer, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The rest of the $24 million will be paid out this year and next.”

...ain't nothing "VP"about the salary. How has this company not yet updated salary bands?

It's not 2008 anymore.

What should i expect with 10 yrs of experience. Joining from another major. Worth the risk? Whst is the future of reservoir eng here. Honest guidance only please

Too many people think complaining online means they have done something to fix a problem. It don’t. It will make you feel better for a little while, but not make change. Remember, rich people and shareholders don’t care about you. You’re a tool to be used until you are worn out and then thrown away. If you die, they don’t care. In fact, dying quickly is the wanted ending. So, how to protect yourself and other workers? Start forming a union. Google the communication worker unions. Google how to start a union. Google success and failure stories. Make contact with union reps. No rich person will pay you your value or respect you and the only way to get those things is to act as a large group. Remember, 5 day workweek, vacation, 8 hours a day are unions. And stop electing people who get paid by rich people to sc--w you.

Start discussing salary with other workers. Management hates it, but can’t stop it. You’ll find out how sc--wed you really are. Don’t get mad at people making more, get mad at management.

Do something. I am.

So we were promised significant salary raise starting since 1st of April, I mean significant because mail mentioned "market rates" so I assume it should be 25-40%, but it is 16th of April and still no one heard anything? On Town hall they said thousands of people got it, WHO?
Yes I have Analyst in Workday so should be elliglible but neither me nor anyone who I know got anything.
What is going on? I got it they used to say "we will see, let's check again in few months" and similar stuff but this time they promised and gave specific date, yet nothing happened.
Does anyone know anything? Honestly, I feel betrayed. Not because I did not receive anything, but because they told us we will got it, and then nothing. Not "maybe", not "next time" - but "yes, from 1st April".
Unfortunately the labour code prevents me from "leaving" as many suggests, in Europe people have to work two, three months more after giving notice, and not many employers are willing to wait that long (apart from some very few specialized expert positions).

I am really disappointed.

In the last few months, there's been a mass exodus in HI, and sales. Just in the last two weeks HI lost two tenured directors (leaving on their own). Either something is on the horizon I'm not privy to, or people are just tired of the layoffs, poor salary increases, decreased bonus plans, constant re-orgs and enough is enough. It seems there's plenty of other options out in the market right now for people in the same space.

How do internal transfers work at Ford?

If I move to a different team but stay at the same level, should I expect a salary increase?

What the title says.73

There is no Future at FIS, Cognizant, or Zensar, so there is no reason to work hard or look for advancement.

There is no point in straining yourself to train your replacement. Just do the least that you can do to get by and nothing more.

It is time to do the absolute minimum required to not get fired so that you can continue receiving your paycheck while spending all of your time looking for another job that actually has a future.

I received a Workday notification stating my total compensation is reduced by x amount.

Is this really happening

Salary treatment will continue to be targeting low to no raises. Ask your supervisor where you are within your band. Most people will receive nothing to very little as salary bands are dropping and there is downward pressure on the CL promotions and CL level assigned to roles.
