Is it not bull crap that the PwC "targeted skills bonus" aka retention bonus goes to select people who they considered flight risk only? recently promoted managers are tied down with the milestone bonus so prob arent flight risk so they aint getting crap. Why not give everyone a retention bonus if they suck it up through another busy season. with Senior 10% retention puts them at M1 salary. Thats bull!!!!
