[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you coworker is new it may have been part of her negotiated hiring package. [/quote]

Yup, it could be this.

Don't feel too bad. You don't know the whole picture.  Management may be trying to figure out how to fire her for cause, which takes forever, but may be obligated to pay her the full bonus.  [/quote]

+1 There is likely something about her hiring and compensation that you don't know. Plus, particularly if your company had a bad year, management may be taking into account the fact that they have given you a raise already.  Raises are permanent, thus better than bonuses. When times are tight, and the future is uncertain, bonuses are easier to come by than raises.  These decisions are not made in a vacuum. [/quote]

+1 more; this was my first thought on reading the post. Maybe she was very savvy on hiring, or took a lower base with higher bonus.

Also, the book keeper should be fired. Point blank.

Small office or no, confidential information such as salary is, well, confidential. Knowing anyone else's salary or renumeration my my company would get you fired. Disclosing it would do even worse for you. [/quote]
