I did complain and the friends and family members I was griping to told me I should tell it to someone who could do something about it. And therein lies the problem, the people who decided the amount had their mind made up. And I think it's always good to choose your battles. It's not like it was so far off that I was insulted and inspired to quit or something. But it could have been better.

You trying to get fired OP (assuming this is IB)?

Every year. Never had an immediate impact, once had an impact a year later (positive).

Complaint was in person at the point of them sliding the number across the table, and be prepared to back up your complaint with justifications.

What level are you and how crucial are you to the business?

I would never complain about a bonus unless I was very okay with getting let go on the spot. Honestly I think for me it'd be very careless right now to express any of my discontent, so I keep everything to myself.

Yes, and I was fired.

Actually?

Yes and no

I would never complain in public - everyone wants to get paid more. What was the shortfall?
