| Feb 17, 2022 at 12:26 | comment | added | lalala | Short, dry 'next time'. It says you know that you didn't perform enough, that you agree with his assessment and you promise at the same time to perform much better the following year, and still maintain that you are aiming for the bonus. | |
| Feb 16, 2022 at 8:44 | comment | added | Mast | If you have a long standing relationship with this company (as in, you're not in your first 2 months) and you've been productive the rest of the time, they simply won't care about a lousy month. Considering your boss stated he's sorry about your bonus, your question definitely reads like you're reading too much into it. Why do you feel the need to bring it up? You appear willing to handle this the professional way, would you accept not bringing it up after the conversation you've already had is the professional way? | |
| Feb 15, 2022 at 23:23 | comment | added | ps2goat | What country is this? I agree with @Neil-- I've left workplaces for the very reason that they come up with any reason to rescind or lower bonuses, even if those happened after the bonus period in question. A good workplace understands that even if you had a valid personal issue, employees are still people. There's no reason to fire you because you're distracted due to family, in a pandemic, no less. | |

| Feb 15, 2022 at 13:00 | comment | added | pboss3010 | Did your boss actually say he wasn't pleased with your performance? For all I know, he's fine with you overall and you just didn't meet the high bonus level. | |

| Feb 15, 2022 at 11:19 | comment | added | Neil | Do you get a bonus every month? If your performance was perfect for 11 months, but on the month before bonus time, your performance was poor, does that mean you get no bonus? | |

| Feb 14, 2022 at 18:39 | comment | added | Job_September_2020 | Have you explained to your boss the reason for this "decreased performance" ? You don't have to go into great details about the family issue with your boss. But, if he knows the general reason, it will work out to your benefits . If your boss knows that this is a temporary or one-time performance decrease, he would understand and may help you out. But, if he does not know the reason, he may think that this could be a long-term bad performance. | |
