Receiving a bonus letter should be a happy thing to do, especially if you think about the hard work that you have put in over the past one year and if the bonus is indeed a generous one that would really be a bountiful harvest for all the effort and hard work.
A bonus message by our SVP was e-mail to me and when I read it, somehow I feel a bet disturbed, as it carries a threat along with all other motivating messages. It literally warns those intended to tender resignation after receiving the bonus should think twice before doing it. Even though the pasture is always greener on the other side but higher salary always comes with more responsibilities and hard work. The message even suggests that there are difficult bosses everywhere and it makes no different whether working with the company or others and thus it is better to continue working with the devil that you know.
Finally, the SVP said that he will not stop anybody from leaving the company but he opined that some who left the company eventually regretted. This sort of “management by fear” doesn’t work anymore as there is abundance of vacancies available with the huge expansion in the plantation industry.
The biggest doesn't mean the company can attract people even with the good remuneration as the so called good remuneration is only given to the top people, while the ordinary executive and staff are just getting something similar to what others are getting somewhere else. SVP doesn’t seem to realize that he can’t fight the battle with all the well paid generals but without the soldiers.
