Anyone NOT receive bonus due to Covid?

Was anyones 2019/20 bonus reduced or entirely rescinded due to the current climate?

In the UK, generally speaking, people have their year-end review in December 2019, which gives an indication of the bonus, of which you actually receive in March.

Our bonuses were finalized in early January, and paid out in Feb. The company is hurting though. I do not expect to get my full bonus again next year unless there is a MASSIVE turnaround.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

Are people still hoping for that?

Hope is cheap.

It’s annoying because you won’t be incentivised to put in as much work as you normally would, knowing your bonus has been compromised already.

 

Nice one. You received what you expected then right? Out of interest, when did it become clear that Covid was going to impact your shops performance? I was in between jobs in the middle of all of this, so I’m really oblivious.
