Salesforce isn't giving raises to director-level and above employees this year, internal memo shows

"Salesforce has decided to focus merit increases at the Senior Manager level (grade 8) and below, while increasing stock and bonus pools for its highest performing individuals among upper-level employees."

"The email stated that 10% more directors and senior directors are getting stock grants, and that the average stock grant increased, with 80% of high-performing directors receiving significantly larger grants."

"Most eligible directors and senior directors received 100% or more of their bonus, and those with top performance ratings received 115% to 140% of their bonuses."

Salesforce will not offer raises to employees at the director level and above, focusing merit increases on Senior Manager level and below. The company is increasing stock and bonus pools for top performers among upper-level employees as part of a strategy for long-term growth. Performance reviews will determine compensation, with a noted increase in stock grants and bonuses for high-performing directors. This decision may reflect a trend in Big Tech to tie compensation to stock performance rather than base pay, especially amid declining stock values.
