The biggest company I worked for was a great place to be, but they were a US company. I kept going to performance reviews, getting managers give me the “good news, you got the big bonus this year”. My response was consistently “cool, but I’m a base salary guy, I’d rather just keep doing the same job and getting a base salary bump” and they kept being very confused by this.
Good people, good conditions, I had no complaints, but they just couldn’t parse this. They kept explaining to me how big the bonuses could get, I kept not being motivated at all by this.
