In Reply To: AI is Annual Incentive, or bonus. Your AI will typically depend on your level and will vary from 10% to 20% of your salary. This year's bonus pool was only funded at 26%, so if your target was 20% of your salary and your performance was 90% (not many people received 100%, let alone more), your bonus would have been an additional 4.7% of salary. Hardly the 20% you may have anticipated being eligible for. Evaluate this level of any compensation offer carefully.
Message: AI is the same as at other places. They don't pay what they can't afford to pay. We had a bad AI year, no doubt. But i've been getting bonuses here for years and this was the lowest yet. It's not typical to see such low payouts. 2004 was a struggle as well that paid out about 75% of bonus pools. Prior to that it was always at least 100%. I expect 2006 to be closer to the 75% range again and then 2007 getting back up to (beyond??) 100%.
