It's different in finance because a finance guy can go to his boss with hard proof and say "I made your company 10 million last year" and ask for 500k bonus.
But developers do not have hard proof and they will be getting 10k bonus instead.

- wizofaus 4y agoExcept it's not hard proof at all - no one person in a company can ever be even the primary reason for that 10 million profit. Further what happens in the years that by the same metric they lose a company 10 million... Btw my current company offers bonus vacation days instead of financial incentives, and they go to every one in the team responsible for achieving product goals. I feel a little guilty as I'm enjoying that benefit today despite not having been at the company at the point the goals were met! I like the idea though...
- romanovcode 4y agoSales, stock traders and I assume many others definitely have a hard proof of how much money they made. Regarding when they lose money - at best they get no salary or they just get fired.
