Bonus? My old company spelled that BONER
Posted on 2/28/26 at 9:19 am to LSUSUPERSTAR
0% since 2022. Most of the H1Bs I worked with at my last client haven't gotten a raise in a decade or longer, if ever.

Typical bonuses are 100%?!? I work in IT, are y'all hiring?
I've gotten the same $1K bonus every year for over a decade now.

Clarifying 100% is a calculation.
%corporete target (usually 100 sometimes more) x annual salary x individual performance rating (usually between 90% - 110% as long as you are on a pop) x your job grade (10% 12% or 14%)

I work for a global company and we have been doing pretty bad. They changed up the bonus calculation so we could get a better bonus, which will be about 75% of the baseline bonus amount.
No raises this year.

Still better than the roughly 1% bonus I typically get.

Raises have not come remotely close to keeping up with inflation since covid.
It sucks, but rape and pillage of the workforce is working. Profits have gone orbital across the board. They're gonna keep doing it until it quits working.

I got a 3% raise in January. I feel fortunate.

When I was in highschool, everyone preached that the goal should be 100K a year. With that income you could support a family with a stay-at-home wife, decent house and cars, and go on a vacation every year. Seems like you need 200K a year for that lifestyle these days. And few make that much.

I think they mean 100% of target , not 100% of yearly base salary . Or, if it’s 100% of base, it may be a really low base . I’ve companies do that. You can make 150k; but your base is 60k , the rest is all bonus and variable comp

My salary has increased just 47% over the 19 years I have worked there. That comes out to 2.19% a year.
I found it was easier for my company to provide more freedoms than salary.
Quality of life > salary for me personally.
Do not waste too many years seeking money and middle management titles.

The US really needs to radically scale back the H1B program and halt any new H1Bs.
The labor market is flooded with white collar workers and hardly any of it is so specialized that companies can’t find an American to do the work. They’re just taking advantage of the lower salaries.
End result is American workers are having to compete and accept lower pay as well, or don’t work at all.

More like since 2019.

I am happy with it, and that’s all that matters. Company doing well and it seems to be improving so bonuses should be solid next year too.
I get to work from home most of the time. Travel is getting worse but still manageable. I get to spend a lot of time with my family and for volunteer opportunities locally.

True.
But a lot of people also job hopped in 2020-2022 and got very generous bumps in salary for that. Companies seem to be belt tightening now. And fewer exit opportunities for people in tech since the massive Bay Area companies are not hiring as much.
At some point it will get bad enough for people to start job hopping again. But loyalty is just not valued anymore.

Sounds like you work for Sanofi

When we were PE owned, they set the company goals that bonus is structured around so unrealistic that the 100% mark would have been a crazy return to the investors. It was quite the sham job.
The budgets the PE group would give us were pipe dreams and led to a lot of dumb short term thinking, being tightwads on capex spending and chasing new product lines despite getting increasingly shitty servicing our core products
Truth be told I think everyone thought they’d have cashed out but interest have dragged that process out so a lot of large shareholders are still working when they want to be retired

I generally think you have to get promoted or change positions to get decent pay raises. Staying in the same role for years isn’t the way to maximize compensation unfortunately.
