Gents, Let's get this definition straight. We do not get a bonus, for once and for all, we get a PROFIT SHARE. Those on the palace get bonuses, whether a profit is made or not. What we call it does make a difference in the mindset. WE made a profit, but do not get to share. Those who "manage" us get bonuses for increasing our workload and continually eroding our total "package". Lower costs in your department and you will get a BONUS. the only incentive for us to go above and beyond is the possibility of a SHARE of the rewards. We will never get a BONUS.
Think about the
PR as above. A bonus is one thing, not sharing in a 52% profit increase is a whole 'nother animal. Call it as such. There is nothing in our contracts that refer to a bonus.
