Last I saw, the pay range for senior BECs was something ridiculous like $78k to $130k. How much does the average senior BEC (or even lead BEC) actually make?

Unionized workers at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike. This action follows ongoing negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement since December 2025. The union, UAW Local 2110, seeks to address healthcare costs and inflation. They propose significant salary increases and reduced healthcare costs for lower-earning staff. Museum management has offered a different four-year contract with smaller raises. No specific strike deadline has been set yet.

Even when I was still employed at WF several jobs posted did not list the salary. I had to email the recruiter listed and ask them what the pay was. I've found that this behavior has increased and not just at WF. Is saying you want a job for the money really so taboo? Why would anyone apply for a job when they don't know how much it pays?

As part of re org, I noticed that some associates who were previously managers are now individual contributors. Was this a demotion or a lateral move? If it was a lateral move, does that mean their salary remained the same?

what a joke. I definitely ain’t going to the office

What percentage are you getting on your salary increase? when will you know?

These are being published on NA jobs now on the intranet

The US is so much higher than Canada it's crazy

Hi there, the company I worked for has been bought by Accenture. What can you tell me about Accenture? Is it a good place to work? Flexibility? Overtime? Career plan? Salary? Etc.

Looking to hear data from actual employees about on-cycle and off-cycle raises? Meaning, has anyone ever negotiated a raise that didn’t coincide with the early December salary treatment supervisor discussion? I’m interested in hearing if you brought a competing offer to the table? What % raise did you ask for? Did you receive it? What time of year? Also interested to hear if anyone negotiated a higher raise % “on-cycle” meaning you did it at the early December salary treatment discussion. Any insights welcome.

Is the VSP in lieu of salary until September 1st or would we receive salary and the VSP offer kicks in at sept 1st?

I think the number one thing that bothers me more than their delivery are their low a-s salaries

This company can't be trusted. If you make too much money or someone doesn't like you, you're probably a target. In some divisions you have zero job security no matter how good you are. Start looking for a new job now and save up a rainy day fund.

What’s a typical monthly salary for GC16?

Gas at $5.50/Gallon + Doubled Car Insurance Rate + Kids, Family and the 2+ hours traffic, but a bare minimum salary..this is majority of us 60,000 employees vs. Gunjan and CXO suite making Millions a year,Luxury travel to and fro paid and expesned to the company. They are the to set the RTO policy but do not have to worry or comply it, its the 90% of us who have to bear the brunt.

OUR (60,000 employees) Necessity is the mother of this invention (leave powered locked laptops at work in secret places), given no other company demands or measures Talent and Performance by the Timestamps and not actual delivery or management of aspects. STUPID and DuB GOONjan and CXO suite

I mention something, and I get the cold shoulder immediately. I just want to see if I'm being underpaid.

I left EM a little while ago to move to booming data center industry where they need capital projects people and pay better

Do some research and apply. Why not see?
Base Salary a little lower than EM but more than made up with near term cash and stock

Example. CL27/28 with 15 years experience can get you this
Base: 250k
Annual cash bonus: 20%
Stocks: $800k-$1.2M spread over next 4 years. No ridiculous 3 and 7 year waiting to get couple hundred XOM shares.
Basically $500-600k+ per year
And even know some CL 28/29 folks that are looking and can get closer to $800k all-in.

Or you can stick around and work with disrespectful people like Dan W or Carman M!
Good luck!

If I worked there I'd be angry at how many top admins make twice the salary of similar admins at other regional colleges. No way should they be doing layoffs of lower paid staff when they have 8 people making $200K-300K at a college of only 1600 students.

Not shocking however predictions show more layoffs across the economy and that is really not good for anyone regardless. Salaries likely not going up much either.

Can anyone explain to me the actual process and math used for benchmarking of compensation for employees and executives?

Heard that it’s going away and that an email is going out next month with detail. Anyone hear anything else?

I have been thinking about why pay is so broken both in our industry and at DXC, and I keep coming back to two issues. First, companies treat hiring as a cost to be minimized rather than an investment in talent. Second, nobody knows what anyone else is actually making, so we are all just guessing at what fair pay looks like.

How is this possible?

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..

Key Salary Information:

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.
