Is your bonus big enough this year?

Have you got your bonus this year, or do you at least know how much it will be?

And if so, are you stratified with the amount and how it is structured?

Did you get too much stock? Was the cash component too low? And has it been deferred over too long a period?

Are you annoyed that your Asian bonus took a blow because of policies dreamed up by your bank's head office in the US or Europe? Was the UK bonus tax spread across your whole firm, thus affecting you?

Are you unhappy enough to jump ship when you get your hands on the cash?

Let us know your thoughts on these many bonus-related questions below.

    No bonus for me last year as I was on contract after being retrenched. I will be lucky if I get an increment after I am confirm by this new firm I am working for.

    miserable increment and bonus is better than nothing, deferred increment and bonus is better than never come, the worst is you should have it but someone took it away!
