Yes! The c-suite gets the bonuses after the rest of us have been laid off.

Haha. John Wren didn’t claw his way to the dizzy heights of Grand Poobah by handing out Christmas bonuses. Now get back to your 65hr weeks, ya scoundrels, and take comfort knowing that ‘affordability’ is alive and well but only for your lowly Walmart shopping friends.

No. After everything was said and done I ran $13m in business, made 3.6M for them after all bills paid. I got a $500 gift card. But I'm grateful for what I do and to be employed and not at Omnicom.

lol. I was with BCW for several years and your bonus was working on vacation to cover for people who've been laid off.

I've gotten one in the last few years, but nothing this year. Used to get anywhere from 2.5K to 5K depending on how the business did

No bonus at CM since 2011. There used to be a pot of money allocated to each office for distribution at the MD’s discretion. I doubt this exists now. No pay rise for nearly 5 years (me personally). They have a monthly spot bonus, the amount hasn’t increased since it was introduced many years ago. the winner is nominated by the team, but quite often the leadership team select someone, which defeats the selection process, IMO. Due to OMC’s finance processes you end up waiting at least 4 mohths for the bonus to land in your bank account. Someone left before the money was passed out.

Yes. Jelly of the month GC.
