3rd year in a row of 0$ bonus!!! On top of almost record revenues. This is super frustrating and demoralizing. I see "leadership" who is getting promoted, bonuses and not doing JACK for us. There is Tons of doubletalk about employee engagement and making improvements but tiny raises (1% is HUGE), zero bonus and mandatory actions like : Blood draw annually for medical analysis or face $60 Monthly charge $0 bonus when HUGE deal last year about changing the formula and "setting aside $6mil for bonuses" Crap (1% for years on end) for raises when Austin is expensive Making building improvements and HUGE deal about it, who cares? We are here to work.
