My bonus is tied to company performance I can't influence. My team crushed our goals, but the company missed overall targets. So... no bonus? How is this motivating?

Bonuses based only on company performance can sting a bit. Ideally, there is some personal performance attached to the bonus, but not all places are the same.

Yeah, totally agree. It feels more fair when both company and individual performance are factored in, gives a bit more motivation too.

Wow, that really sucks. I am really sorry to hear that. I don't think the bonus should be tied to the company missing their overall targets if your team performed well.

Yeah, I totally agree. It’s unfair when a team does great but still misses out because of company-wide results. That kind of thing can really hurt motivation.

You are reminding me of my team, where I would peform to be at the top of the table but still get assessed on the basis of team performance.
