@2azh if ~$150 a year is going to make a big difference to you and your family then I guess we’re just living extremely different lives.

Perhaps it won’t make a difference in your entitled financial life but it sure helped our family.

Hopefully you realize that Todd hasn’t been here for the better part of a year.

Of course you don’t.

Don’t pi-s on our heads and tell us to be thankful it’s raining. The optics of granting 10 shares that vest over 3 years are very bad. For many of us that won’t make any difference in our lives but they’re making a big to do about it.

Yes, this is an employer/employee relationship but it’s perfectly reasonable to assume that management will uphold their end of the bargain, and be disappointed and frustrated when they don’t.

@lbx

You have a free bonus.
You have free company stock.
But your real problem is an entitled elitist mentality.

You will never be happy in a life filled with envy.

Haven’t you heard that that Todd is gone now?

Why do you think that we now have layoffs again after a 4 year break?

“It was nice of them to deduct the cost of the shares from bonus. I'd like to know if the amount is added back to the bonus if I choose not to accept them. More to come February 22nd......”

News flash, it won’t.

Wow. You people cry with a loaf of bread under your arm. I suggest that you donate your BK Shares to people whom are really down on their luck.

Would it ki-l you to say “Thank You” for shares?

So clueless… so very clueless.

If Robin or Todd, would box up a dog tu-d and tell you how excited they are to give it to you, many of you would believe it was a good thing

It’s a bad thing because it doesn’t make up for reducing our bonus by that amount, nor taking away 12 months of earnings from my 401(k)

People are so jaded. Just how are free shares of stock a bad thing?

Why “given”? We were given shares.

How is that a bad thing?

BONY had your cake when you took over Mellon with your underfunded pension fund and raided our overfunded pension in 2008.

Pure thievery.

Damn right. They stole the bulk of our Pension plan. It was cut 5 times over 25 years. The vast majority received less than a third of what we were promised.

Can’t have your 401k match for 12-15 months, but here, have a piece of cake to make up for it, to celebrate shares that will change little in 3 years.

Where’s our cake in NY?

Also did not say ‘we are pleased to announce’ when they dropped the pension plane some years ago

Bunch of fake excitement. The executives are trying to drum up in PIttsburgh by having cake to celebrate the propaganda and fake excitement over the BK shares we were each “given“.
Funny, they didn’t seem to have a similar party & fake excitement when they announced delaying our 401(k) match by 12 months
