What's this?

Because employees will still grouse about it.

At my firm we gave EOY bonuses of about 15% for the few hourly people we had, 25% for core staff, 35% for associates, 50% for Sr associates, 100% for VPs and 150% for Sr VPs. Total staff of about 175. The 8 shareholders got more, and the 4 main owners took the rest. We had numerous employees that felt it was unfair that we took so much.

Everybody wants more and can't understand why those with the greatest risk and responsibility get a larger share. Sorry, but a sore subject with me.

A major point was that it was only tenure based, not salary or title based. -- 81_Hokie 12/11/2019 06:36AM
