Being cut back on progressive basis regarding benefits and base compensation.

Senior Managers looking out for the bottom $$, less so for employee's - the people that bring the $$$

Advice to Senior Management

Get back to reality

Pros

You no longer have worries about what to do with your disposable income

A seemingly never ending stream of negative HR news and take-aways in compensation, benefits, and working conditions.

Salary increases at 0% or significantly less than the cost of living increase for 5+ years.

Advice to Senior Management

It seems that the shareholders and senior executive pay incentives are far more important than treating the employees fairly. You are mortgaging the company's future in order to enrich yourselves. Financial security may come quicker for you, but not for the rank and file who have contributed most of the savings.

Advice to Senior Management
