7 Things Employees Will Say About This Year's Bonus

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?

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