Hi Everyone, I’m surprised and flattered that my story about incentives-gone-wrong at Digital got so much attention, and sparked such an interesting discussion on Y Combinator! Many thanks to those who read it and participated in the discussion there.
I’m new to Substack, so not sure if this is the usual use for threads here, but thought I would open one up for anyone who missed that discussion, or for those would like to continue any of the stories or thoughts on the topic of variable compensation and bonus/incentive programs. I’m also happy to answer any questions from the article anyone had about that crazy project.
I've held the position of manager at a different organization where performance-based bonuses were determined https://geometrylite.co/
How would you design a bonus program?
