This year, I will be getting 15% of my 2015 salary as a bonus payout. This was my 2nd bonus received with my company. For 2014, I received 20%. So I was anticipating receiving at least that for 2015 but was told the amount was 15%.
Since I'm not in a sales role, I asked my boss if it was related to my performance but I was told it was in no way related to my performance just that our expenses had increased with hiring more staff and that we were on target with our sales goal.
I was kind of disappointed, since the 5% was about $5k less than I thought I'd get, but still feel relatively fortunate since I work in a pure overhead role, and have very good work life balance and do not work long hours.
Apparently, I've learned many others in the company are pretty upset as I guess bonuses were cut across the board. I am still pretty new and didn't have any rationale to justify a bigger bonus, but I guess others are quite upset.
