3 months performance bonus!

Hurray!

SO announced that he has received news that he would received about 3 months performance bonus on the 24 of March!

And since I am working as his Ministry of Home Affairs, I would get the same pro-rated bonus as him.

His grade this year is B, I think.

Last year, his grade was A, and he got about 4 months bonus.

And then some time last year, his boss called him in. He was told that for his ranking, he was the 2nd highest paid.

He was given a grade A for his appraisal cos he was in charge of an important project last year. And this year, he just had to maintain that project, hence no grade A.

His boss said that they could not give him a grade A every year though there was he did not slack in his job performance. His boss said the organisation would not afford to give him A every year. He also said that it would not be fair to the other staff.

Well, SO was a bit pissed about it when he was told that. He felt that then this would not be a true reflection appraisal of his work performance for the past year.

But then, 3 months performance is better than 2 months or even one month. Or nothing!
Frankly, in these times of recession, I am just glad that he is even getting more than 2 months performance bonus.

And we are going to save most of that bonus!

Oh yeah, SO just said he would give me only 2 months bonus, cos I overspend at the IT fair.

Oh well!
