Random Pay Freezes
Good share price appreciation, especially with (one-off) 7-year RSU grants. Tight financial management. Very little business travel. Some excellent engineers and managers.
CEO broken promise on health insurance (upon Broadcom acquisition).

Remove grade quotas.
Cap employee benefit contribution to average pay adjustment.
