[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a department wide meeting where it was announced Teams A, B, and D made their goal.  The team leader gets XYZ bonus and each team member gets ABC bonus.  These amounts are fixed and we all know the dollar number attached to these incentives.  I am the leader of team A.  The leader of Team D publicly announced he is splitting his personal bonus among the team to sweeten everyones package. The leader of Team B and myself left the meeting kind of annoyed because now we feel in the hot seat.  We both talked in the elevator and both mentioned we needed/wanted our bonuses for Christmas and won't be following Team D leaders idea.  Well the next day I learn leader B did indeed split his bonus.  He did "count himself in" so it was slightly lower extra amount than team D but still doubles the members bonuses.  I now HAVE to do this right?  Ive been a team leader for 8 years and gotten the bonus 6 of them and no one has ever done this before this year.  [b]Leader D is a new employee and has a high earning spouse and this is her "fun" job and I just dont think take home makes a huge difference to her.  [/b]Leader B confided in me he felt like he had to follow the office trend or else his team members would try and switch teams in 2018 when a new project permitted.  I agree with that sentiment but still feel resentful.  Ugh. I know what I have to do but it just kinda stings. [/quote]

This is so incredibly sexist that I don't think any advice to you would help you with your team or your peers.[/quote]
