Today's Topic: Bonus!!

The DJ today encourage people to call in to tell about how much they get this year, and there are people who gets none and some who get up to 6 months.

My comments: Well, my previous company has even given 12 months before to top performers, but unfortunately, the current one doesn’t have that track record. I agree that it sometimes depends on industry, some has the ‘habit’ of giving more, while some thinks that its not necessary at all. From my experience, local company seems to be more generous (well some may not agree!!), and foreign ones especially with the immediate kwai lo as boss, they don’t seems to understand what bonus is. Bigger companies has better way of managing the paid out for bonus (if I am right!), where they actually set aside the paid-out sum on a monthly basis (bit by bit) in their accounts for all employees, (but that does not mean all employees will get them!) and the poll of money set aside will be allocated to each department for their head to recommend the amount set to each employee under his/her care based on performance evaluation.


At the end of the day, as the word goes, “performance bonus” is always based on your performance and contribution to the company. Of course there are some who thinks they are superb, but the boss may think otherwise. I am in those shoes before.. and I think many of you is in the same boat as me too! That’s life.........
