It's all about who you know and if your boss likes you.
There is always the mentality that the sky is falling and everyone must dig deeper.
Forget about getting a promotion....ever.
Bonuses are only for the very favored few... and if they tell you you were selected to get one, don't get too excited. Something will come up with a budget defecit that year. You won't end up getting your bonus but upper management will. Ironic!
