You want to discourage your employees? Promise them huge bonuses at the end of the year if they exceed expectations and give them none blaming it on the crisis

You want to discourage your employees?
Promise them huge bonuses at the end of the year if they exceed expectations and give them none blaming it on the crisis.
- batasrki 18y agoOoh, speaking from experience? How about telling your employees that "We're too top-heavy and therefore won't be promoting anyone", and the only way to make more money in the company is to move up?
- angstrom 18y agoBetter still, refer them to an HR drone instead of actually telling them face to face. That way you can hope their ire is directed at an amorphous initiative to cut costs.
- nategraves 18y agoA variant on that...promise new hires large bonuses or options packages. Once they're hired, stall your new employees until they've accomplished what you needed them for, then downsize them.
- fendale 18y agoJust happened to us this week. Promise of 7-10% bonuses and now we are told we will get little or nothing, communicated by a faceless email. Needless to say all my good will has gone along with my motivation!
