My bonus this year won’t be anything to write home about, probably 2-3k, which won’t be paid until March. Make you feel better?
Not sure if I feel better, because I’ll be lucky if I get that amount. At least I know there are others out there like me. Thank you for sharing.
If it makes you feel better, at my first job out of college in the car business, the guy who sold the most cars during the year (we’re talking… 18-20 cars every month) got a $30 check and a handshake from the owner. I sold the second most and got $20. The guy who sold the 3rd most got $10. The rest, like 7 others didn’t get any money.
We were given last minute, end of the year spiffs (sell 7 cars in 5 days and get $500 or so), three of us hit it and they hardcoded the total, without adding in the bonus. I asked management what’s the deal and they asked me if I talked about it to anyone else. I said yes and they went on a huge rant about how I could be fired for discussing compensation.
Then next place I worked, we had a spiff for july 4th weekend (fri/sat). As an individual, you had to sell one red car, one white car, and one blue car to get some bonus (what the hell)
