My best guess is that he thinks that his tweets and followers provide so much value to Twitter that he deserves to be paid. A slight overestimation of his importance to the Twitter ecosystem. Self-Important (adj): see: Winer, Scoble, Arri

Like the other reply said, not every organization does bonuses. My BigCorp, being in retail, only does bonuses as profit-sharing, based on total company performance. Job performance objectives are overwhelmingly based on overall company per

Even the fully qualified name is a bit meaningless and needs some unpacking. ERP is best described as a massive unified software product that runs a huge portion of a business's operations, usually including two or more of the following are
