On the day Japan was hit by the most powerful earthquake to ever struck the island nation, another earthquake with a magnitude of maybe 9.1 hit MY organization.
Yes, it was the day we received our bonus.
and man, almost 90% of us were so dissatisfied with the bonus it was as if there was a ferocious tsunami that spawned throughout the whole organization
People were talking about bonus the whole day, of how we have performed beyond what was expected of us and yet the remuneration in return was so crappy that we think we couldn't even afford to buy ourselves some dog food after deducting the tax and EPF.
and CEO's reaction to it was, which I quote " I understand that some of you were unhappy with your bonuses but please bear in mind that what you received was based on your performance"
Like huh?
We did perform u dumb-ass!
So this year was also the first year that my stupid organization changed the way the bonus is decided.
Earlier on, it was according to the matrix, that is if u get an A rating then your bonus ranges around 5-7 months.
But this year, it is based SOLELY on the Line Manager's decision.
Isn't it freaking stupid?
I smell BIAS and FAVORITISM and UNJUST from 100 metres away
and what I expected did happen. The favorites got a higher bonus compared to the ones who did perform because they simply know how to kiss ass better
Fantastic
So the rest of us who did not kiss any asses, simply got DUST for our bonuses
Seriously, they should put "ass-kissing 24/7" in our JD,
because from the way things turned out, that is all it takes to take you where u wanna be!
