10. Bonuses & Other Competitive Compensation Incentives Exist
I have worked at places where employee bonuses weren’t an option. I have worked in places where only managers got bonuses. I have worked in places where only certain positions get performance bonuses. I have worked at a place where EVERYONE got a bonus based on company performance.
If you get a bonus – be thankful. Everyone doesn’t.
If you get annual pay adjustments (even for the cost of living) – be thankful. Everyone doesn’t.
If you have competitive pay that recognizes industry benchmarks, your tenure, and experience – be thankful. Everyone doesn’t.
