>And the one quarter, we didn't get the max bonus. In fact, I don't think we got it all. People screamed and yelled and were pissed. At the company all hands they spent a lot of time explaining that bonuses weren't guaranteed.
This is only understandable if the company didn't perform well but did the CEO and other executives not get a bonus as well?? If they didn't it's 100% reasonable. Not so if they continued getting their fat bonuses while everybody else didn't. It's understandable employees become unhappy about this. Let's face it, compensation is mostly one of heaviest factor considered in a job and bonus is factored in to some extent. Hence from bonus to no bonus make that position look less attractive. Pissed? It's an overreaction but maybe it's time to move on. If there are better pastures some people will not hesitate to go. I'd appreciate if the downvoters tell me how is it fair that executives don't get affected by a downturn at all while everyone pays the price collectively, sometimes even the executives mistakes. It completely eludes me and I'm sure I didn't get downvoted by executives.
