Wow, All you Americans happy?

Your masters are.

I am happy, and I get no bonus.

I get another supplemental $800 a month for the rest of my life for my disability, courtesy of the American tax payer. That is bonus enough, and makes me happy (though it can suck to walk or run most of the time - permanent disability from the military).

My company sets up goals at the beginning of the year. Each goal has 3 levels, Threshold, Target, and Max.

If you Threshold all your goals, you get 3%, Target is 6%, and Max is 9% of your salary. Looks like I'm going to get 8.4% this year.

As long as I get love from my colleagues and bosses, I`m fine with my minimum wage and 6 day 80 hour work week.

The least to do? They're more responsible for the success of the company than the production worker, and so it goes on up the tree to the CEO.

My answer to that is always the same...pull out the guy that runs the machines, the guy that fixes the computers, the guy that sells the product, or any other production worker and see how long the product keeps being produced. Now try it again with the CFO, HRO, or any other executive. I think you'll find that the product continues to be made with little or no issues, though the longevity of the company in a global market may be threatened, and certainly it's no longer a tool of investors. However, the point remains that it is the production worker, and ONLY the production worker, that makes a company exist. Everyone else is fully expendable/replaceable. The product or service is absolute, the infrastructure is irrelevant.

Exactly. I am in retail, and the guys who get the bonuses dont amount to much of anything. There is actually a strong case to be made that by removing several of them, things would run smoother. If the CEO or regional manager quit, the customer would never know. If I quit, they would certainly know.

No one said the workers weren't important, but they are easier to replace than a CEO.
