So last week my company announced that all architects and above will have their bonus structure changed.

Before, if I billed 40 hours a week I get 300% bonus. If I billed 32 a week I get 100% bonus.

Now, If I bill 28 I get 100%, but anything over 28 hours means nothing. The 100-300% bonus amount, which I used to control, is now based on company utilization, so how much everyone bills. If we beat the target by 6% we get 300% bonus. But that’ll never happen. I’m not expecting to get over 100%

I'm pretty sure I'd let you go immediately if I were on your SLT. We all love to think we're that valuable, but we're not. Cutting back your availability simply shows that lack the EQ to adjust to change. While I completely understand the stance from a compensation view (#1 rule is to never f**k with someone's comp), there are likely several factors at play here. If you don't trust your SLT then you should find a new company. Though honestly I don't know what you're afraid of. Your wording makes it sound like you'd be an automatic 300%. So you're likely inflating your value as we all do.

I’ve gotten 300% like the last 11/12 quarters

I’m pissed. I immediately dropped 3 projects. They’re cutting cash flow that I was expecting by over 20k. I’m purposely going to only bill 28. I was billing 45 plus before

This impacts like the top 20 senior resources in my org. We’re all quitting or just gonna stop working hard

What company is this?

Small company. Can’t name them

😎😎😎

Bonuses everywhere in the world are funded based on company performance, but rewarded based on individual contributions.

Well. No reward for great performance anymore. I’m dropping projects and not mentoring anybody. Let’s see what they do. They wouldn’t dare fire me. I’m still bringing their 28 a week on a big project which they’d lose if I left

Let’s watch this revenue hit
