1. If you receive a discretionary bonus as part of your contract, were you given an indication as to what percentage/amount it would be when signing up for the job?
2. Did/Does it meet your expectations?
3. Have you ever NOT received a discretionary bonus even though you, personally, had a productive/goal-meeting/box-tickingly good year?
Had a few awkward conversations with team members who don't appear to understand the word "discretionary" and "indication".
Curious as to how these work and what experiences people have outside the two organisations I've worked for where the following answers apply;
Job #1
1. No (I clearly should have asked, but I didn't)
2. N/A
3. Yes
Job #2
1. Yes, given an indication in % terms
2. Yes - started off just about meeting expectations and has got progressively better than expected
3. No
