I did just this about a year ago. Big project, lots of "company will fail if this project fails" type of talk. So they trot out a bonus system. I literally didn't read the email. Turns out it had a 2 part payment plan. Our team nailed the metrics for the first payment...and then didn't for the second. Which left management in the weird position of explaining how even though we had just signed 5 customers (in a quarter that had anticipated maybe 1 sale), we hadn't met metrics...and so no bonus. Watching execs peddle obvious bullshit to an undeniably successful team not interested in the smell was more my bonus than anything.
