How was your bonus this year? Honestly, my bonus didn’t meet my expectations, and I’m feeling a bit disappointed. I worked hard all year and hoped for better recognition. Do you feel satisfied with your bonus, or did it also fall short of what you expected?

My review says I exceeded expectations, but my bonus was well below my expectations. You do start to take a step back and realize how much extra work you are putting in for something not at all guaranteed.

Very true, I’ve been hearing the same story constantly. One of the biggest reasons I’m just staying put for now.

My bonus was more than previous years by about $4k. Although not significantly more, it was a nice surprise!

Congrats so happy for you

Mine was about $5k more than the previous year

Congrats am so happy for you

I aced my review & was disappointed in both my bonus & my increase, which didn’t even cover CPI. I’ve taken on extra duties & proposed a new title & wage that reflected the additional work (with assistance from my CFO & discussed with a Director, who both concurred with my suggestions & remuneration)… CEO admitted that he ‘hadn’t even looked at it’ three weeks later when I checked in.
So I’m actively looking after being there over 10 years. Let me tell you that 10+ years of company history, contacts & experience is a loss that won’t be realised until it’s gone. Everyone can be replaced but that type of knowledge can’t be bought.
It’s disappointing but I’m very excited about the next chapter in my working life

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
