The biggest mistake guys make is to believe Profit share is a given when the company makes money. Not in this neck of the woods.
Which year did they make target and not give out a bonus?
On that note is there anywhere it's written in the updated Employee Hand Book ?
It's on the portal.
(even if it's written, doesn't mean it will be honoured, it looks nice am sure for recruitment purposes)
Again, based on what year that they made target and didn't give out a bonus?
Sorry to sound like a sycophant, but this is just not based on reality. When tthey have announced a profit in excess of their target, they have given a bonus in accordence with the policy.
If you don't agree with that, state the year it didn't happen (And don't say 2009 as we DIDN'T meet target or 2010 as they didn't POST a target!).
Might the announced profit be manipulated?
I guess so, though I'd be interested in anyone able to actually produce evidence of it.
