Hah, may I point you to the fact that MiB writers still haven't been paid royalties[1] because the movie was never "profitable"? [1] https://twitter.com/ed_sol

- the_watcher 7y agoNot really sure how pointing out that Hollywood accounting exists relates at all to my noting that some bonuses are contractually guaranteed. Such as mine, which guarantees an X-Y% of base salary bonus based on my performance.
- vvanders 7y agoYes, but was the language for your performance gone over by your own lawyer? Is there a clause for when an upstream team decides to stonewall the work you've involved with? What happens when your boss transfers and the new person you report to doesn't have any history to go on? This stuff happens all the time, although mostly at the business level. Zeroing it out is a great way to make sure you aren't in financial position where you're taking a risk on things you don't 100% control.
