“Bad news, we’ve had to eliminate the position that we were supposed to finalize your promotion to. Good news, your current position is still available and the prestige of your current role is now increased”
Not the money, not the title, bonus or anything, but oh the prestige.

I hope that when HR people try pulling this kind of stunt or a recruiter mentioning one salary level and the company paying less, they understand that it only speeds up our job search to leave the company

Honestly weeks after that my phone was ringing off the hook with +50% offers, higher bonus, promotion etc. but they were all at niche market meat grinders.

Had a friend take an offer, 3 months later on his ass. Colleagues friend took another I turned down, at 6 months he was fired for “underperforming” aka only growing market share by 70 not 100%

Any Insurance Broker Account Managers in Oklahoma (Health/Life/ Employee Benefits)?

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?
