Wag 401k match popped in for last year. Is it me or is the discretionary match alot smaller than it was last year?
 
It was pretty crappy. About $1.09 total for guaranteed + discretionary + forfeitures reallocated. The year before that was $1.45 total.

I think I may have to reduce my 401(k) projections, also considering the 1-1.5% raises I have been getting 🙁

You get your match annually?

I believe they get a standard 2-3% match guaranteed, however, they get a yearly discretionary additional match % that is based on annual profit for that year.
A company big as Wags only guarantees a 2-3% match on their 401k? Wow, that is horrible.

Well as I understand it, often the discretionary match can be fairly significant bring up the total to 5-6%, please correct me if I am wrong Walgreen employees.

I used to work for them. now it is 4 percent match guaranteed. Yes it can bring it up to 5 , 6 percent depending on the year
 
Walmart matches up to 6% and your fully vested immediately, but you have to be there for a year first to get the 6% match.
 
walgreens matches first 4% (1 to 1) , it is vested immediately...anything more is discretionary and varies year to year.
