Okay, it floors me that some of the most profitable companies in this country won't give bonuses to lower level employees for the holiday. I know my company is giving decent sized bonuses to the management team and we're getting nothing! Should I just quit? Why should the managers get bonuses and those of us who actually do the work, get nothing?

Good story bad picture. Oprah is known to give out generous bonuses. I know a family friend who worked as an engineer for Harpo productions. His daughter got into an Ivy League college. Oprah found out through her people, he never told her but told his team. She doubled his bonus for next four years to help him pay for the school.

I agree with you. I’m saying there are way worse billionaires that Oprah. Elon Musk has risen to the top of that sh*t list. I agree that it’s nothing for Oprah. But she gave the extra bonus to her employee, since the OP claimed employees don’t get bonuses from management.
From my own experience, I’ve always received bigger bonuses that I thought possible. Perhaps develop a skillset that makes you worth the company’s bonus?

Well their base salaries are usually capped and the rest of their compensation to make them competitive vs what they could make elsewhere is then given in a bonus. Not sure why you want one so badly in concept - I wish my full pay was in my base salary and thus "guaranteed"

Don’t quit because zero is less than whatever you’re making now. But in general the difference between the c suite and everyone else is so out of whack. Especially when your ceo gets bonuses for laying people off. Don’t blame Oprah for that. She’s one of the good ones and they are so few and far between.

Regarding Oprah. I think her “support” for Kamala Harris came with a 10m paycheck. The only reality is these folks didn’t get rich by being generous.

Its about greed, not need

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
