Hi, I have a question about bonuses. I was told that if we won a federal contract, my bonus could only be 2% of what I’m making. That is soooooo low! Is that true? Thanks.

My guess is that your company has determined that they can only pay a low bonus because they're worried about complying with Federal Acquisition Regulation. That's a set of rules that governs how the US government makes purchases. Something like a bonus might have to be cleared by government auditors. So a token bonus, like the 2% you mention, would be seen as being reasonable and allowable.

Thanks!

It is difficult to say since we don’t know what your contract states. But if that’s what you were told, I would assume that it is true.

Two hours later, he figured out that the reason why there were more than a few compiler errors in the code was because my code actually worked… smh.
