Excellent statement.

Bonus as defined by Webster's

1. something given or paid over and above what is due.

You get paid a salary for your job. It means get the job done whether it takes you 2 hours or 53 hours.

You get hourly for your job. Cool. Keep track of your hours, but do your job.

Expecting a bonus is bullshit. Getting pissed off because you didn't get one is bullshit. Why didn't you ask for a higher pay rate when you signed on?

I like what another poster said anyways; I would prefer a raise over a bonus.
