- the_watcher 7y agoSame at Facebook and Apple. At least, they're entirely formulaic.
- mattnewton 7y agoThat was not the case when I was at Apple- the formula recommended a bonus but IIRC it was officially at managerial discretion. Different orgs were run with different budgets, and while not this extreme I had seen similar things happen while I was there, including getting lower bonuses myself and one coworker quitting after their bonus was significantly lower than promised (or maybe they were denied it entirely, I don't remember exactly). We were told the same thing about organizational budgeting.
- ryandrake 7y agoAFAICT (as a non-manager), it was entirely manager’s discretion, within a budget, at Apple.
- cbhl 7y agoAlphabet shifted the timing of stock compensation in 2017Q1, and this definitely screwed over some Noogler cohorts in 2017 (who may have expected a refresh in January 2017 or July 2017, but actually didn't get one until January 2018). https://abc.xyz/investor/static/pdf/2017_Q1_Earnings_Transcript.pdf?cache=91f0790 https://abc.xyz/investor/static/pdf/2017_Q1_Earnings_Transcr...
