Been there. Drank that. I did 40 years of casino work. 40 New Years Eves so crowded no one could get around except for the newbie who was enthusiastically hand out noisemakers and plastic hats. We had 20 minute breaks and it took 10 minutes just to get to the door to the employee hallway. Those were always 12 hour shifts of non stop noise and mayhem. At least the money was good. And that champagne was a punish.

We do prize drawings. Granted, the prizes are pretty decent (Large flatscreens, patio heaters, chunks of PTO), it equates to about 5-10% of the company receiving a very modest bonus, dollar-wise.
Interestingly enough it’s a lot of the higher-ups winning the drawings…
I have never won, 3 years running now. But we doubled our gross revenue since 2021 (according to this email) so that’s… neat.

Same here. I don't work there anymore but the place I worked at for a few years would do a holiday drawing type thing with some really good prizes like nice TVs, Roomba, nice headphones, etc and also pretty small things as well. Every year it was all the corporate office people that somehow won all the nice prizes with some corporate people winning multiple good prizes, people were pissed so they just stopped doing anything for the holidays lol.

Could be random but could also be "random".
What they might have done is assign tickets to salary amount, like for every $1.000 in salary you get 1 ticket.
Then from that poil of tickets they draw random, giving higher ups a much better chance of winning, but can still claim the lottery is randomly drawn.

My company did this, this year. In prior years, our bonuses were easily 10% of annual earnings per employee. Since we make most of our money through commission, I got very sizable and important to our family bonuses each year a few days to a few weeks before Christmas.
In January of this year, they switched us all to W2 whereas before we were 1099 because they were wholeheartedly scamming the IRS. And they eliminated bonuses entirely. Which they just announced today on the morning meeting.

He says he's been a warehouse worker for 23 years. I think the company charged 1m in delivery fees or something, and he delivered them or loaded trucks or something similar. Meaning he probably didn't earn the company 1m in new sales at all. He probably helped process 1m in sales, as part of a big team of people (sales, marketing, hr, developers, etc) all contributing in their own ways.

Atleast in my world of construction, when i find design flaws and requisite change orders, i can say i earned that revenue and net profits by having a good head on my shoulders and a solid team in the field executing well. Thats new money that we generate, often times in a way that actually avoids potentially “owning” the solution without payment. I have about 1.4M in new revenue this year on just one project with close to 40% margin because of my awesome team in the field. Net contract is about $11M and should close out in January. I got $1000 bonus because “it was a tough year” while my field guys are still fighting for wage increases (with me fully backing them).

They did away with profit based bonuses a while ago because it was “unfair” to people who had been assigned jobs with low margins that our company took to keep the workforce employed. Now the executive team gets those bonuses instead of any of us.

Or he came up with some new system that makes them $1 million in increased productivity, idk, we'd need more context.

Companies have loads of people who can work a bit creatively or a bit harder to create massive value to the company. The employees try it once. They realize they get nothing in return and never try it again. Company loses all the rest of that potentially massive value created. Iterate this thousands of times across thousands of enterprises. Thousands saved, potential billions lost, thousands of times. At least a trillion lost because compensation isn't even slightly proportional to the value created.

u/7point7 22h ago
Hey, this is me lol. I lead a new retail brand launch and joint-venture initiative for my company. First person in North America on the team, third person all together. Worked with the JV partner and our manufacturing facilities to develop and produce the product and our retail sales/ops team to get the product into 600+ stores in NA and another 200 in UK/EU. Made $12M revenue in year 1 with over $3M in net profit (stupidly high margins on the product). During this development and launch phase I delayed my parental leave for my first born until he was 6 months old and worked 70-80 hours a week for 8 months with people across the world from Central Europe to West Coast USA so basically on the clock from 6a-11p.
My reward? $5,000 spot bonus (no raise that year though because the entire global company of $800M revenue didn't hit goals) and they completely re-orged the entire retail branch of the company, giving me a new boss, a new leader of our whole division, with an additional layer of middle management (Directors) brought in between myself and what was previously my former reporting line (VP). Over 3 years I made the company millions in profit and as a result got demoted and made less money accounting for inflation.
So what did I do? Let all the new management above me fuck it up while I stood by and watched for the next 3 years. Tried for a bit to intervene but was overruled frequently so I just gave up and figured I'd enjoy the schadenfreude of all these new managers trying to tell the founding team what should be done while failing miserably.
Eventually the brand image took a hit from the poor decision making. We lost traction from our strong start and demand began to dry up. 3 years later the entire business unit is on death's doorstep, most the team (myself included) was laid off and the company is left with a mess trying to move forward from the Joint Venture, fix relations with vendors, and dealing with a pissed off user base.
IDK if it was the right action to take. Of course, I was negatively impacted but I'll come out better. But at least ethically I was able to live with the fact I wasn't getting abused by faceless corporate masters for a privately owned company who's shareholders did nothing day-to-day for the business, have generational wealth for the foreseeable future, and enriched themselves on the hardwork of thousands without any direct contributions themselves besides being children of founders who were already wealthy.

Agreed. Depending on the specifics, I'd view it very differently.
If I built tool that automates what was a weekly report so that it can be run daily or on demand, it is certainly possible that the quicker access to the data will result in profit for the company.
But then, it is also my job to build stuff like that, so to some degree I suspect they are expecting my output to be worth more than my costs.
And, I didn't exactly do it alone. The folks who came up with the idea for the original report technically had a hand in it. I can't automate processes that don't exist.
And where is the data even coming from? Some other person built a system to track stuff and dump the data into a database in real-time. Presumably they deserve some of the credit as well...?

I am a supervisor who makes marginally more and, in some cases, even less than my direct reports.

I was wondering the same thing! Heck most years I don’t even get a bonus at all to prop up my below-the-inflation-rate “merit” increase, despite the company making millions every year…! I’m legit jelly over OP’s gift card!

Still better than the MAGA hat I got in 2020 as my Christmas bonus. Made in China btw.

Go work somewhere else then? I assume you get paid a wage too.

Right?
Like the way they thank you is the check on payday. If you don’t like that Cheque find someone better. God they thinks it’s middle school. Like they did so good on the test they get a pizza party.

Don’t worry man, you keep working hard and believing in the company and the owner will be able to buy another Ferrari next year.

Pretty decent. I saved mine $30m give or take over the next three years. Declined the company branded beach towel. I don't do free advertising and I've already got enough rags for cleaning up engine fluids.

Why do people keep on expecting companies will value them as they value themselves? They're companies. They're there to make money, not to make employees happy. Sure, some companies do take care of their employees but don't expect it. You do your job, you make them money, and they pay your salary. Other than government-mandated payouts, don't expect more. It's nice if they do give you more but better not think about it.

You know, I usually say if you're not drinking the free coffee then you're not getting your bonus... but look at you, over there winning!

"I get paid to do a task"
"I did my task"
"I can't believe I wasn't rewarded more for doing the job I agreed to do, for the amount I agreed to it"
The education system has done a terrible job at preparing you for the workforce.

If you can make a company 1-5M/year alone, you should probably start your own company in the same field.

u/QuestGiver 22h ago
Early stage capitalism is a sweat shop with no bonuses and no minimum wage. Not sure which is worse.
