at my last company since we basically never got a raise over 3% they tried to make up for it with bonuses which was all well and good until "it's been a tough year" and everyone makes 10% less

we didn't get a bonus this year because some sales goal was not met the highest the bonus could have been, if all goals were met or exceeded, was like under 100 euros.

Captain Foo posted:i've never earned a bonus in my life I've never gotten a yearly one, just a couple of "spot bonuses", mostly because up until this point I've intentionally worked at smaller companies, where bonuses are more rare. I'm at the point now where I'm tired of that, and I'm tired of progressing in my career at one company, only to have those accomplishments ignored by the next (oh you were "architect" at so and so? Well I've never heard of them so it doesn't mean much to me). A real wakeup call was my wife getting a job as a developer with a big company and making not only a higher base pay, but with a 10-18% bonus structure (vs my 0%). Throw in stock grants (not "discounted" stock at no-name co) and free catered lunch and it really becomes no contest. Oh also she has 5 years less experience than me (7 if you count the masters degree where I worked as a developer part time)

all private sector jobs are a scam hoverwife's startin her public sector gig in 6 months and i'm lookin to jump ship for that sweet sweet state union position by next year because their pay structure is way way better even if you ignore the pension (and better insurance and better holidays/PTO time), and i get ~5% raises and around $5k in quarterly bonuses each year

Sure, but raises start to cap out at some point, I'm in my mid 30s now and I don't expect to get a 10% raise every year of my life.

Now that I have said this tho Q4 will be bad.

Baxter told me that he thinks Vizio is the industry leader in disclosing what tracking is happening and letting users opt in or out during setup, and that he’s fine if people choose to turn it off. But he was also clear that TV companies are in a cutthroat business, and that companies like Vizio would have to charge higher prices for hardware if they didn’t run content, advertising, and data businesses. i'm proud to say we're an industry leader in telling you we're loving you
