Amazon has decided not to offer cash raises this year to most of its employees at Level 6 and above, including senior managers, senior engineers, and directors. The decision comes despite the company's stock increasing by approximately 80 percent over the last year. Instead of cash raises, the compensation for these senior employees will continue to be significantly tied to stock-related awards. Amazon's internal guidance suggests that new Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) are not guaranteed for this year either. This policy shift has been reported by multiple sources, highlighting the company's approach to compensation amid its financial performance.
