What is important is that bonuses are there to reward success, not there just because.
So if you fail to meet some targets (Network Rail anyone) then you shouldn't get your bonus.
If you do really well, then actually you should.
Something that I think would be a good idea, is to force companies to publish the percentage of profits that the total bonus pool consumes.
This way if all the staff take home £1 million, but the total bonus pool is only 5% and the company has made a **** load, then it's good for the share holders and staff. If a company gives 50% of profits to the staff and they didn't make much, then the shareholders can kick off and block it.
Certainly, you should not stop a big bonus for a job well done, because it's a huge incentive to the individual if they can add a large proportion of their salary for doing very well and above expectation. -
In Topic: VW and Adblue = Arrrgggggghhhh!

gadgetman, on 08 February 2012 - 21:37, said:So I learned today the work's Sharan has adblue. I had no idea what it was until I got an error message.
Driving along get a brief message about adblue error, range 22000miles. Then 650miles! Looking in the book the car uses adblue, and if you drop below 600miles remaining distance you run the risk of not being able to restart the engine, even by jumpstarting, which on a bluemotion is fantastic!
So went to VW and grabbed 2 bottles. The only 2 bottles they had. But you need 6 (10 litres) to reset the system and stop it shutting the engine down.
Car's sat on the drive screaming errors about adblue low, and with a spanner symbol and the EML light on. I have to try and limp to a VW garage hoping they have some!
I now also have a new option in the MFD showing the range left of the adblue which never existed until the error message today. Seriously this is dangerous as you could get stranded very easily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do VAG have to mess with stuff. I'm starting to miss my old work's Mondeo :(
You can buy it by the tonne at almost any motorway service station.
Lorries all use it :)
As Ross says, it's for NOx emissions and actually is probably a good thing as cars with it don't need an EGR to make the engines "breath their own farts" to reduce NOx as this does it. -

As I'm sure this is addressed at me, I'm not spouting off.
A number of people here have had help on issues relating to this from me, because I want to be helpful and no other reasons.
This is the only reason I wanted to make sure the advice was correct.
I have nothing to prove so if you want to feel like I'm spouting off and know nothing, I'm more than happy for you to having this opinion. -

Wordpress can be configured to have some pretty good sites and if you're looking at packages, then it's worth having a look at webfusion. -
