7 Things Employees Will Say About This Year’s Bonus

Posted on Monday, November 17, 2008 by Frank Roche

After last week’s 10 Things You Need to Tell Your Employees About This Year’s Bonus, I got a suggestion from the author of BMIML to write another from the employee perspective.

Since companies often confuse handing out business books with investing in good management, I thought I’d do a little play on some of the most popular biz books of our time.

7 Things Employees Will Say About This Year’s Bonus

  1. Has anyone seen my copy of Who Moved My Bonus?
  2. My bonus went from Good to Not-So-Great.
  3. I’m studying the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Ex-Employees.
  4. I’m going to be featured in the Freakanomics Comics because this must be a joke.
  5. Everybody on my train is reading Poor Dad, Poorer Dad.
  6. What Color is My Golden Parachute? (Yes, Virginia, there is a Peter Principle.)
  7. Does this mean I have to stand in the Chicken Soup Line for the Soul?

Support this post around the web. We would really appreciate it.

    How about… “Don't give me a bonus this year, I'm happy to have a job.”

    Ron, that's one I forgot to write. Excellent.
