Just jumping back to the pay and retention issues for a moment, I have to report that neither I nor those around me have seen anything just recently that would suggest any work in these areas. To be honest, I wouldn't expect there to be anything much in SDSR; those would probably come later once SDSR has been announced and Manning can then adjust their plan to meet the new requirements and examine what measures might be required.
If your expecting a bonus anytime soon, don't hold your breath.
