Me: I am more intelligent than the other guy on the team and hence, was able to wrap up my work by 8 pm every day. This idiot had to work till 2 am every day which shows inefficiency. Why did we both get the same bonus (PS: the colleague is 1 yr older than me in the company)

Manager: Think about it this way. You had to work less to get more money. In the same amount, you got more time with your family or were able to pursue personal interests.
