I got a sizable (in comparison to my pay rate) holiday bonus when I interned at a regional bank, and my current job that I’m leaving with a national contract cleaning company has bonuses based on the company’s financial performance. The company is spiraling the drain so a pittance of a bonus was dished out this year to try to shore up morale after a bunch of layoffs (sounds like the 3 years prior the bonuses were several thousand dollars a person) and now they’re laying everyone off to relocate the HQ. So basically depending on where you work you might get pretty decent bonuses
Reminds me of the hospital my boyfriend used to work at: his group of technicians didn’t get a raise one year because employee turnover was too high. So… the ones that DID stay were punished because of people that left???
Just got informed last week that we didn’t meet the qualifications to get a bonus this year.
The qualifications they didn’t tell us about.
The qualifications that we have no control over.
No bonus because people higher in the chain didn’t meet specific goals. (Pretty sure they are still getting a bonus because rank.)
I won’t meet the qualifications next year because I’ll be working somewhere else. The pay is low because bonuses make up for it (supposedly).
