Dear Peon,
I know you were expecting your 1K bonus this year – which would have been far more than last year because business has doubled! – but we’ve decided to get rid of bonuses for our Scheming Corporate Reasons. We need to cut our budget because we have a major acquisition coming up, and screwing over the peons was the best way to do that.
And yes, you heard that right! We’re only screwing the peons, of course. We really don’t care that you’re part of a 4-person team who’s produced over 50 million dollars of work for this company over the last two years and is currently working in the Most Important Market for our telecommunications branch and the client we’re working for.
The upper-execs and CEOs are laughing all the way to the bank. You didn’t expect us to cut bonues for the Big Boys, did you? Even though “saving money for the company” would have been far easier if we cut just a handful of exec bonuses instead of culling all the measly under-5K bonuses we send out to all the peons?
What do you think this is, Fantasyland?
Go back to writing books.
All the best,
Corporate America
