I fixed a single bug that recovered amount (in todays terms ) in my mid 20's. Neither I or the company secretary I worked with to ever got a word of thanks.

- ASalazarMX 5y agoAt least you can be sure that the deed was not forgotten, someone higher likely took credit for it.
- brianwawok 5y agoTo be fair, someone else made a bug that cost that much. I don't think you want to be in the business of getting a say 20% of revenue from big fixes, but also get 20% of revenue from bug creation? Or hey maybe you do, you could try to get that in your next contract.
- walshemj 5y agoYeh a previous FD who brought that POS accounts receivable.
- dzhiurgis 5y agoSales constantly generate revenue and costs (feature requests) - do they get penalised when they don’t win client?
- bb88 5y agoTo be fair, sales teams lose commissions, bonuses, and are more easily tied closer to performance metrics -- which makes them easier to be fired.
- brianwawok 5y agoYes they do, their commission drops. Which could be something like 50% of base pay. Imagine if as a dev you want to make 100k.. so instead you make 50k guaranteed (base pay), but then bonuses based on how many JIRAs you close. Hit your bug target make 100k. Get stuck on a nasty one? Opps, only 90k.
