Goals are good, in any way, as long as their portioned right.
And at the level most people this is targeted to are working at, is the rather large salary supposed to be the incentive?
- mxkopy 3y agoIt happens at lower levels too, when the company is too broke to give bonuses
- velcrovan 3y agoI'm talking about repeated, big pushes for extremely short-term departmental achievements that touch everyone including people with five-digit annual earnings.
- mitthrowaway2 3y agoAn incentive isn't an incentive if d/dx = 0 for behaviour x. Salary is how you get someone to work for you instead of a competitor, and keep them from spending their time worrying about mortgages, but it's not really an incentive unless someone is at risk of being fired. Performance bonuses, stock options, recognition, raises, promotions, and interesting projects are incentives.
