Do bonuses exist in the Public Sector?
Funnily enough, if I don't get my bonus it's effectively a 10% cut in my wages. I'd happily get no bonus and have that 10% guaranteed.
alternatively introduce bonuses to the public sector which would
a) mean a 10% loss isn't permanent
and
b) possibly reduce the 'they do nothing anyway' image of the civil service
anyhoo, i'm gonna take Ann Post's advice and read something
