At every place I've worked that had bonuses, the rules and structures for them where very precis and documented and decided on at the top level. Didn't matter how well our department or division did, the bonus structure couldn't be altered. If/when my boss wanted to reward us specifically for a job well done, his only tool was to buy us food and take us places.
