If you were ensured an end of year bonus as part of your compensation package, should you at the very least expect about a paycheck’s worth?

If I had a dollar for every time I was supposed to get a bonus but didn’t I’d have a sweet holiday bonus coming to me. If it isn’t in your contract with an amount then a firm handshake and a thank you might be your bonus

First, you’ll get it in March because that’s when bonuses are distributed.

Second, as AS1 said, you should have gotten an amount and the KPI’s required to achieve it in writing when you were negotiating your compensation package before starting.

Third, given your situation your bonus could be anything from “sorry, no bonuses this year” to an amount beyond a single paycheck all depending on the whims of the people you work for.

Last, it’s your manager and your manager’s manager who have to go in and fight for your bonus. Make sure they think you’re the second fucking coming otherwise expect nothing.

You should have, at the very least, gotten an amount in writing as part of your compensation package. Since you didn’t, I would assume it’ll be around $1k, and then be happy if it’s more. Just remember, bonuses get taxed too 🤑

I did not know bonuses were something you can get in writing. Otherwise, why isn’t it just included in salary. Well, we’ll see. Ty all

Please remember, when you’re asking for salary information, it’s important to mention where you are located. For example, $100,000 is going to be a lot more in Mississippi than in San Francisco. Thanks guys.

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent.

I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?
