Cengage continues to show its true colors and it just keeps getting worse... On May 26th an email went out to people leaders letting them know that employees that made a Transformative or Outstanding impact would receive an impact award (if they are not on the normal Incentive plan). This is typically a small bonus like 5%.
On June 2nd, HR emailed people leaders again saying our bad, that's not actually going to happen. This happening after many managers have already spoken to employees. and now Managers are having to break the news to their employees.
Now, for the people who are on the incentive plan with a 10% - 40% bonus, just need to get achieved (significant impact) for it to pay out. and it is still going to.
In other words, to the people that have a job profile not allowing them to be on the incentive plan but absolutely crushed it this year, I am sorry and unfortunately Cengage is giving you the middle finger and has no desire to walk back their walk back.
