So, our FY ended Sept 30 and I'm cool with not getting a bonus bc I was like 100 hours short. Our entire dept was slow for a few months. My question is whether I should ask to be compensated for the work I originated this year. For context, my salary is $180k and I originated about $80k. I get "100% origination credit" in our billing system, but that only matters for partner pay, not associate. What's a reasonable % to ask for? I know they may just say no, but I at least want to try.
