>> Imagine if the employee had the same attitude: she performs her job based on the amount of money she is being paid; and promises of bonuses, advancement, etc., are simply vapor.<<
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt and started my own company. I also have learned from this environment and made a commitment to not have robots working for me when the time comes for me to hire employees. I also know that open communication is the root of all success and back up what I pledge. I like how Matt has this with his employer. I communicate the complete package, not simple salary, which is typically only 60-70% of the complete package. If I have bonus plan and stick to it people will trust me. I plan to offer a bonus structure people also have some control over. The first thing I hate is when a bonus plan is made that I personally have no control over. In this case I have learned that something I have no control over typically does not benefit me.
