I must admit that I have never understood the tired old argument that people should receive bonuses for doing work that they agreed to do for an agreed upon set salary... ...And, if one must dole out bonuses (because everyone else is doing it, which seems to be the argument), bonuses should be linked to the verifiable attainment of preset and published goals. Clarification and verification of these goals should be/ should have been the Latern's focus in a future follow-up article, if not in this article. With respect to the non-existant annual performance evaluations of the employees who received bonuses, the supervisors whose job was to complete those evaluations should hvae to give his/ her binuses back!
