My employer announced their best financial year ever at an all-hands meeting yesterday. But today, I found out my bonus is smaller than last year's. Is it weird that I'm getting less when the company's doing better?

Y’all get bonuses?

Always grateful when companies give them because it seems to be rare these days.

That seems to be how it goes these days. Our company said they were having our best year ever and then let us know we aren't getting raises this year. Its like they want to keep all that for themselves.

Not unless your performance dropped off from last year to this year. I get the sense that's not what happened, though. I'd be pretty peeved if I was you.

Companies in drivers seat these days. You are merely a cost that must be minimized.

It feels like most companies whittle away at what sort of bonuses they give each year, if they give them. Even if it's in your contract, the company still determines how much is eligible to be paid out. Is it fair, no, but they are in control of how the money is paid out.

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
