Ok, so I didn't plan on bitching at all in my blog but I have changed my mind this afternoon.
So everyone has probably heard about Harris RF Communications that is based out of Rochester, NY. Well I work there. I am going on 3 years as an employee and just can not believe the crap you have to put up with here.
Well, a couple months ago Harris sent out a email to all of its employees announcing profit sharing. In their announcement they were saying that all employees should get a 3% bonus from this profit sharing. Now you can collect it 2 ways. The first way is to put it directly into your 401K. This way assures you 100% of this "bonus." The second way is to get cash. The fantastic thing about cash is that the government automatically takes 42% of your "bonus" and then you get the rest. Well guess what boys and girls?? That 58% that you get will not get you very far!!! You have to make a lot of money to even make the bonus worth it. $50,000 salary will get you $1,000 bonus to put into your 401K. Oh and if you want $1000 in cash after the government takes their share, you have to make a salary of around $90,000!!!!
It's amazing that a billion dollar company can not afford to give their employees a better bonus. Hell they can barely give you a worth while gift at the year end meeting you have to go to. Have you seen the amount of money Harris has made this year?? This was the subject line of a email I received about an hour ago today...."Harris Corporation Fourth Quarter Revenue Grows 19%;Net Income Increases 39%; Non-GAAP Net Income Increases 30% "
Oh so now they are making all this money but what do they give their employees as a benefit for being a part of this increase?? A 2% PROFIT SHARING BONUS!!!! Oh yeah and a barbecue apron....COME ON!! Are you kidding me??
Yes, I am glad to get something but come on now guys and gals. Don't you think they could give us something more?? Maybe a day off with pay and the bonus on a Visa card. Or something. We get no thanks while we work our butts off. Irritated is what I am right now. I am sorry that I feel this way but with the amount of money this company makes they could at least treat their employees better.

That's ok, we get nothing at the end of the year as a thank you. We're supposed to get a bonus at the end of the year as well, and up until this year it was fairly reasonable to get your bonus as it was based on your performance. Well, this year out individual incentive bonus can not only be lost by your performance but also by the performance of coworkers....some individual incentive. So how am I supposed to prevent anyone from calling in or being late? I can't, but it effects my bonus....we call it a Bone us!
