Seems to me the higher one is up the ladder the greater the chances of getting a bonus, irrespective of performance.

Both of these jobs were up the pay scale and nowhere near minimum wage jobs. Whilst the outdoor was was a bit crap the second one was just under £20k (the lower end of the semi decent pay scale). Never has one of my previous jobs ever paid any form of bonus.
One thing I've noticed though is that the higher up the pay scale you get the lazier you can be. I have absolutely no idea how that works but it seems the less you get paid the harder you have to graft for it. It's a really screwed up sense or morality.

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

Another company just use a formula of percentage of profit given the total amount of bonus available then this was split as a percentage of salary and performance and paid at Christmas.
The last bonus scheme I was on paid every 6 months up to 5% of your salary depending on reaching personal and company targets, typically the bonuses paid was 4.0 to 4.5% of salary every 6 months. This bonus system I was more against as I believe that bonuses should be bias towards the lower paid employees as these did not get the same benefits (perks) as the higher paid. I have to add that I was in the higher paid bracket so it's not soar grapes on my part.

Where I last worked we used to get an annual bonus but each few years it dwindled.....the last one I remember being an orange.
One of our Israeli suppliers sent us a large box of oranges which the MD handed out to each employee at the close of business for the Christmas holiday.
