[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously it depends on industry. I work in big law where my bonus is directly tied dollar for dollar for the revenue I brought in.  Bonus was $800k because I had a busy year.

My husband works in financial services where comp structure is heavy on bonus and stock, but not directly tied to his own performance; it also turns on public company performance. I think his bonus is expected to be like $200k in cash, and similar in stock.

But I know other people who work as doctors and govt, and their bonuses are more akin to "thank you for your work this year". So in the range of thousands of dollars.  Their comp structure through the year is already established to pay them their appropriate pay.  [/quote]

more akin to "thank you for your work this year" IS NOT in the range of thousands of dollars for me, a government worker. Sometimes I get thanked verbally for my work in a year, once my director wrote me a nice note saying that, but never have I gotten an end of year bonus of any cash (though I acknowledge maybe some government employees may have a different experience).  And the concept that “comp structure through the year is already established to pay them their appropriate pay” is antithetical to a bonus - a bonus literally means something extra.I’m very proud of my 30 years of public service, pleased that I’ve always had stellar ratings, but am very tired of people who presume we all get bonuses.[/quote]
