They sent me a "do not forward" email from HR about changes to my job band. I expected the next Stinky scr3w job. They had like 10 HR VPs on the call, and untold others that were impacted.
I was in shock, as there was no obvious Stinky sc--w job from the presentation.
They stated that they did yet another competitive study, and my band was under the market, and they could not attract the young new college hires they seek as they were all flocking to Google and the other FANGS. So they raised the minimum of the band, and were raising the max of the band. And anyone that was under the new minimum, which they did not state what it raised to, would get an immediate raise in August.
Next day boss man call me and sends me an email that I was under the minimum, and they would be bringing me up to the min for the band in August. Largest raise I EVER received at T.
He asked, you sure you want to leave now?
