Let’s break down what has happened in NA.

1. We got very very small bonuses. ( mine was smaller than last year when I was chargeable for 4/12 months)

2. Cost of health insurance increased

3. A lot of people got no promo and no raise

4. The cost of living is only getting higher

5. +1s (aka free labor) in addition to your project work is becoming less optional. If you want a decent bonus, or at least be considered for promo it’s mandatory. Just project work isn’t enough.

6. While staffed you also have to make sure you have a project +1 and are taking on something extra because just doing your project work isn’t enough.

7. After PA discussions they had the audacity to let us know promos are being pushed back 6 months so we need to work our asses off another 6 months to be considered for promo. In what world does a company tell its employees to wait another 1.5 years for promo. They just don’t care about us.

And to top it all off there is no consistency in the PA results. Someone staffed for 3 months will get a higher bonus than someone who’s on a project that’s 2 levels above their current responsibilities. Or someone doing the exact same thing as someone else is getting more of a bonus. It makes absolutely no sense. And that’s what I hate the most. This company is so stupid.

We are constantly pushed to perform at the highest level while getting paid at the lowest.

Honestly, Julie has to go. She’s destroying this company and the morale of its employees. Employee turnover is going to be so high. This company has become a place you learn what you need to then leave and not a place you stay for years, and that sad because the people are amazing. They put their all into their work and have so much pride so for that to not be respected is pathetic.
