I think it's just you're company looking for a loop whole so they won't HAVE to pay you. It seem like the thing a company would do at this hard economic time.
My company didn't even give me a x-mas bonus last year. Oh and no raises either. =/

So my job was supposed to give semi-annual compensation this year. Once for the first half of the years performance, and once for the second half. Incentive is based on performance, and I've always performed well compared to my peers.
So I booked a 5th Anniversary trip for my wife and I to Hawaii based on the lowest possible incentive I would be eligible for at the midyear point. And I performed well enough that I should be eligible for a mid or high-range incentive payment. And, I accepted a transfer to a different place, one which is much more challenging (read:I work longer hours), but was supposed to be a great career move and the incentive model was supposed to be better. Well, wouldn't you know, they announced that because of the transfer, I'm ineligible for a mid-year incentive payment, and have to wait until January for a whole-year 2010 incentive check. Great. So now I have this trip I need to pay off, and have to figure out how to continue to make it to the end of the year without the payment I was guaranteed at the beginning of the year. Oh, and then I found out my excrow payment went up like $60 a month. And I found out I needed new tires, at about $400, and don't have an option because the ones I was using were way past the point of being illegal. And then last week, my refrigerator started acting all crazy, wouldn't hold a temperature. Finally got the bill for the repair after the guy came today, and it's another $350. Not even sure when I'm going to even begin to be able to begin paying some of this stuff off, but likely not until freaking 2011, apparently. So hey, if you see a guy fleeing a bank with a bag full of money.... it's not me. Imagine having all those bills with no income and no concrete prospects of obtaining significant income any time soon. It could always be worse.

Dude, that sucks. I get incentive pay too, but I only ever budget based off my salary. My bonus cheques are just that: bonuses. I never assume I'm getting a payout, even though usually I do. Sorry to hear that man.

The Lifetime Network in a nutshell...evil man torments/beats/murders poor woman...The End.
Anyway, back on topic. I feel for ya, man, but my old man taught me a lesson long ago: Never spend money that you don't have. In other words, you shouldn't have booked that trip if ya didn't have the money in-hand. |
