My other favorites. Oh, we didn't hit our goal, so you'll only get 90% of your bonus. Oh, and your yearly review. You're going to be rated on a scale of 1 to 5. You can't actually get a 5 in anything because that would mean that you could never improve. Since you cant get a perfect score,that also mean at you can't get 100% of your bonus. So, we said that you could get a 5% bonus, but then after we take 10% off twice, youre only going to get about 4%.

Or, wow, we killed this years co goal (probably for some unusual set of circumstances that boosted business) so everyone is going to get more than there 5% goal even after we take 10% out because you're not perfect. But we don't want to have to pay out this much in bonuses again, so we're going to set next years bonus unobtainably high. That way we'll make up this years bonus expenditures next year.
