Ask HN: Annual Bonus Time, Team's Not Happy
29 by le-mark | 27 comments on Hacker News.
I'm a manager of a team in a large company. Annual raises came out. I had a pool to divy up, which I did, and then my recommendations were ignored by higher management. The pool went else where, and my team got scraps. This team is quite good, they really kicked ass last year. A lot of overtime on a very high profile project. Feedback I got was they expected more, and I did to. So question; how to handle this? Worst case is I lose some people. Well maybe that's not worst case, maybe worst case it they disengage.
