Sounds like you have a common mis-conception that a lot of people who entered the workforce after 2008 have: that bonuses are a given, and part of your salary.

Sounds like you have a common mis-conception that a lot of people who entered the workforce after 2008 have: that bonuses are a given, and part of your salary. Lot's o' people this year won't be getting their bonuses because companies aren't doing well, sales slowed, etc. The very definition of a BONUS is that's it's something you get when the times are good.
(I'm sure it's the same with Stock Options, that people just assumed they'd go up, probably why all the memes about Total Comp are all over social media?)
- StreamBright 4y agoI have been in the "workforce" since 1995. What do I know about this, right? I never said what you are claiming. I simply stated the obvious. Companies exposing bad economy on employees while never give out more when economy is doing great. This is in fact true. What is the motivation and what should we do about it is a different question.
- eclipxe 4y agoStock Options and Restricted Stock Units are different things and even without the value going up, they have an intrinsic cash value. And what memes about Total Comp?
- taude 4y agoMy main comment was about Bonuses, btw. which, as I stated aren't guaranteed and are typically paid when companies are doing well. Options and even RSUs only have value if they go up above initial grant or strike price.
