Highly Valued 1 (HV1): we expect 35% of Amazonians are HV1

Least effective (LE): we expect 5% of Amazonians are LE

HV1 Compensation recommendation: 0% YoY

That doesn’t sound right, I was HV after promotion and still got 2%.

That 2% is putting you slightly higher to the new bottom of band.

So to clarify, if previous years bottom of band was 100K, and this years bottom is 110K, your base bump + your projected stock value (current year + 15% increase planned YoY) will be 110K.

To clarify, HV1? There are 3 levels to HV

Ah, I see. Perhaps it falls under the new “needs improvement” bucket while hv2 does not.
