My company has started giving out bonuses based on company and personal performance. That is great, isn't it? When I was negotiating salary and vacation, I was told that by receiving the bonus, I would be "closer" to what I was asking for. Finally, they've implemented the bonus program, and bonuses should be paid on Monday. However, I won't be getting one!! This (2007) bonus is only paid to employees who were with the company on or before June 30, 2007. I started with the company July 10, 2007. NICE. I think that rule is somewhat stupid...It's saying that employees who joined the company in the 2nd half of the year didn't contribute to the company's success. Employees who joined in the first half of 2007 still get a prorated bonus. And everyone who got a Christmas bonus...well, that amount will be subtracted from the bonus they are getting, and they will receive the net bonus amount on Monday. Why would you give a gift and ask for it back? I hate my company. Time to write my notes for my exit interview.

Life is too short to work for a company that runs that stupidly! You definitely deserve a bonus! WOW! I'd be pissed too!

I've only been with my company almost 9 months, and I don't have anything good to say about it...well, maybe except that I get to leave it. I'm resigning today!

I think I'd rather work for a company that doesn't give out bonuses instead of one that gives out bonuses to only some of the employees. Besides, I'm sure my company bases salaries on "what does this employee get after bonuses?"
GRR!
