But next year bonus down to less than 10k etc. So felt demotivated. But after working so long. Already learn to accept that bonus is not a reflection of hardwork.
So don't work hard expecting bonus. Should just work 50% effort. Enjoy work life balance and hope there is bonus.. That's the best outcome.
Othwerisr I have seen fresh grad who come and overtime etc. Work like slave. Still in the student mode. Work hard. Get good result. Get good bonus.
Working world don't work like that.
To benefit most. You need to appear to be working only during critical moment. And most of the time you need to pace yourself to avoid burn out.

Dude, bonus is called a bonus because it is something out of the norm isnt it? What hope for bonus? Pls la once you are hoping for it, you will be putting yourself up for disappointment when you dont get or get super low isnt it?
Another thing is, obviously hard work doesnt mean you can get rewarded in terms of bonus or promotions right? Obviously you need to excel at the office politics game, know who to curry flavour with, get yourself on high impact and high visibility projects. I dont understand why many people keep on believing that their hard work matters and end up complaining when they are passed over for promotions.
