Once upon a time, bonuses were paid as an addition to the salary if the performance of the individual, or perhaps the team, exceeded the job specification and targets that were part of the job.

Basically, if a worker actually does his/her job properly then they would not get a bonus. Why not? Because they did the job that they were paid for.

Nowdays, there are too many companies where the bosses get paid huge bonuses for achieving targets that are little more than their job specification. They get large salaries for doing their job, and then get large bonuses for doing their job.

This is not the same as those workers who get minimal salaries and whose earnings are based on their efforts and their performance. The commission structure generally means that these workers do get rewarded for the efforts that they put in.

Unfortunately we have seen a massive increase in this this greedy bonus culture amongst state sector organisations. Our taxes are being used to pay massive bonuses for those running these organisations.

We need to stop these greedy bosses from abusing the people of the UK who do not want their taxes being used to pay bonuses on top of the huge salaries these greedy people are getting!
