If a decision proves to have been reckless/short-sighted a few years on, bonuses can be retracted. Retracting something already given can be difficult, especially if the employee has moved on to another place. There are ways, of course, with "clawback clauses" and similar things, but that seems unnecessarily clunky if I understand them correctly. Basing bonuses on long term performance after it has had long enough to play out and (at least most of) the consequences known may very well be a good idea though.
