$400,000 bonus for Wolfowitz?

[The Backlash Cometh]

What is up with these bonuses? Wolfie is in line for a $400,000 bonus for perfomance and time on the job if he stays by June 1. Apparently, he's making it a bartering chip for his resignation.

Let's stop a minute. Who here gets bonuses at their work? What kind of work do you do and how often do those bonuses opportunites come by a year?

1. I got 2K for bonuses last year

and worked my ass off for it.

2. What kind of work?

[Little Wing]

11. Programming, typically from 9 am to 10pm 6 days a week

sometimes later. Hell, I earned the damn thing anyway, if I was on an hourly raise the over-time would have probably been much more.

13. I can see that. You definitely get paid based on what you produce

and, I'm assuming quality counts.

[liberal N proud]

3. That is 2K more than I got

[wordpix]

4. another "kick the taxpayer" while the repukes run laughing to the bank to build their mansions-by-

the-sea. :puke:

6. What kind of corporation is the IMF where Wolfie works.

I hate to admit it, but I don't know if it's governmental or private corporation. And if it's private, is it a for profit organization, or non-profit?

14. He's with the World Bank, not IMF

It's a multi-national banking body which loans money to third-world countries, purportedly for 'development'. And yes, it is FOR PROFIT, it's not a charity.

5. I get a bonus on Friday

Dinner at a chinese restaurant.. It's a bonus for working understaffed and overtime, without complaining...

8. Get it where you can.

Hope the food is good.

7. I work for the federal government

and last year, they completely revamped our employee appraisal system.

Whereas the average payout for managers was in the 2K range, and about $1600 for regular employees, those amounts have now been reduced severely.

"exceptional" employees get either 4% or their annual pay and/or time off.

"fully sucessful" employees not get either 2% of their annual salary and/or time off.

10. Well, I'm glad they do have incentives in government work,

but $400,000 seems steep.

9. can we have bastille day?

i am sick of eattinng cake:puke:

[The Backlash Cometh]

12. I think we're all going into diabetic shock.

15. $400,000 for blowing Dick Chaney? Sign me up. After puking I'm 400 large to the good!!!!
