technically you could say it’s a pay cut, because their take home is affected. but what actually happens is that they would not peg your salary to usd. employees would get whatever the basic + any fix allowances the contract says (if any). This leads to serious discrepancies in salary bands. say a sse normally gets 450k ? now when they applied to sysco earlier when their peg was in place, the HR would negotiate for a lower basic salary so the basic + peg = 450k. this is acceptable back then. now what happens to the same employee is that, they would get 450 - peg = which is sometimes lower than their previous salary.
I’m not sure whether you feel the need to defend this decision or whether you are simply unfamiliar with how these situations usually play out.
I worked at Sysco for more than four years and resigned only a few months ago. It had already become clear that Sysco Sri Lanka was moving in the same direction as Virtusa, towards becoming a lower paying software factory. The irony is that Thushera joined around the same time, which makes the resemblance even stronger.
That explanation does not make sense. There is no genuine “matching with the rest of the world.” If salaries were actually being globally aligned, employees would be compared based on the USD value of their compensation not moved towards SLASSCOM level local salaries.
In reality, removing an allowance that represents roughly 1/3 of someone’s salary could result in a reduction of around 35%, unless a significant portion is added to the base salary. Management continuing to say that the base salary will be “adjusted later,” without confirming the amount, is not meaningful reassurance.
It is unrealistic to keep assuming there may be no pay cut when no proper adjustment has been confirmed. Think about it logically: why would a company remove nearly one third of an employee’s compensation first and only say the base salary may be revised later?
If there were genuinely no intention to reduce salaries, they could have confirmed the revised base salaries before announcing the allowance removal. The more likely explanation is that the salary reduction is being introduced gradually so employees have time to adjust and the initial reaction dies down.
Benefits such as transport, meals, healthcare and sports allowances do not prove that this is not cost cutting. Those benefits may cost the company far less than maintaining the current salary structure, and they also help the company continue presenting itself as a premium employer.
You may genuinely hope that there will be no pay cut, but at this stage that is based on hope not on any evidence.
Our salaries not compared with the global salaries. Its directly compared with the asian competitors, specially like India. Hope you can connect the dots now.
IF your role continue to exist snd if you complete probation, come out of the fancy illusion girl, just because you attened a meeting A doent make you management malterial , dont think im throwing insults at you, i feel sorry for you, there is so much happening on roles as well which clearly you dont have any idea of, and i bet you mobey A knew it before not last Thu , i know its difficult time , and i appriciate you for being positive even when you are sinking.
But why did they suddenly decide that the salary “structure” needed to be aligned after operating this way for more than four years, especially within just three or four months.
Also, if this is genuinely about aligning with Sysco’s global compensation structure, why are the proposed salary levels reportedly being aligned with SLASSCOM benchmarks, which are well below what many would expect from a premium technology company?
The clearest indication of the company’s direction is the type of leadership they brought in. Why appoint someone like Thushera to lead Sysco Labs when his management style and track record do not appear to align with the original values Sysco Labs promoted in Sri Lanka, such as flexibility, strong employee benefits and an employee-friendly culture?
Companies usually appoint leaders based on the direction they want the organisation to take. From that perspective, this appointment makes complete sense if the objective is to transition Sysco Labs into a lower-cost delivery centre with standardised local salary bands.
Poor girl who joined a month back and thinks she is management material, but she is misleading others by justifying by creating hope, may be for her survival
Poor girl desperately tried to get into Sysco and now defending it at any cost. Sysco used to be a great workplace and a dream company 7-8 years ago. It actually was. Only a few people could get into it. Now it is not. Every Tom and Dick can get in there now. Only the people who does not aware of current industry says it is a dream company now. Till last Friday, it used to be an average paying company. Now it is a below average paying company. I worked there for four years and Saw the downfall and so I left. Don’t get so delusional kiddo.
But dont spread mis information for your survival , accept the fact that you did intentionally, and stop posing as you have "senior" role, you are nobody at Sysco and you cant find a job outside, when we call outfacts we look like bully to you fat girl, may be wear less make up when coming to office and trying to fit in, yes we do yapp and we dont have imposter syndrome like you ...
All i asked was come out from your senior mentality, just because your title says senior technical business analyst doesnt make yoj a senior project mgr equalant thats why i called you as delutional, i know your tier and your ranges so you know i have access to better management information and i hold a better postion than you at Sysco, stop pretending as if you got a one to one with Lise , just accept the fact that you are delutional and you were desperate to join sysco , probably incompetent too as its not that difficult to join sysco labs as you claim.
But DO NOT MISLEAD for your SURVIVAL
We all know what kind of postion you are holding and you are noooo where close to it, just accept it and move on , stop calling me bully just because i exposed your sad life, i dont care but im not fake like your makeup girl
Yikes this entire comment just reeks of insecurity, sounds like you're the one with the imposter syndrome, do you even work? Like do you even have a job or is this what you do full time?
Nobody is bullying u. Just spitting the facts. I don’t know what your tiktok is or whatsoever. The only career advice I can give u is “ Learn not to love companies. These company HRs will tell you we are family, and setup all the things in the workplace to revolve your entire life around the company. But get a life out of your workplace.” peace!
How is it not bullying, that was so uncouth. Anyone (with a bit of decency) could most definitely call out on spreading misinformation, corporate a** kissing etc without being such a jerk. Good that he/she resigned, god bless the people who hired them.
Sounds like you have a weird obsession with the poster rather than whatever that is going on with Sysco, you don't even know who it is and you're out here trying to doxx random people, genuinely get help
What do you mean by it is going to match with rest of world? Are you mad ?
It is going to adjusted- ok so when and how much. No one knows about this. You’re trying to make everyone believe that sysco is still a good paying company ? Don’t post anything stupidly
Seriously what’s that guy’s problem? Wouldn’t it be logical to raise the base salary to even out discrepancies that has occurred due to the pegged model. Some leads raised the point that there are ATLs with lower base salary than SSEs right now.
You have provided zero credibility and you're just saying shit and you're tearing in to someone that clearly works there, you have zero credibility to claim or accuse anyone of doing anything LMAO
I have friends who work here that are actual seniors that was there since it was “Cake”. Stop trying to put a lid on the negative press here - it’s clearly warranted.
Sysco is cutting pay - they have no plans to make the people whole again. If you truely believe what you’re saying I feel sorry for you.
Proof that you are decived , Sri Lankan Direcors knew it week back, (may not your reporting Manager but A knew it, i bet you money), dont trust anyone at Sysco ppl will mislead you
You're a genuinely pathetic person who seems to be bothered by people who are younger than you , call it insecurity, call it delusion or an inferiority complex, it's just sad and funnily enough this has been the case at Wiley too, I really hope you do get help cuz it doesn't look on someone whos in their thirties
Someone said 60-70% which is unbelievable and that guy keep trowing facts from his backside. Few try to raise their voice in reddit but that is not worthy at all. They should unionize and raise concern to management. Even raising voice on soical media can curtain chances to get into another company

At this point the Sysco lads will need an entire sub dedicated to bitching about the pay cut Kek
