My Bonus Was a Bummer : Everything was done strictly by the book
Dialog
Daisy : I can't help wondering if management played favorites when deciding bonuses.
Beau : No, everything was done strictly by the book.
Daisy : Then why did some people seem to get bigger bonuses than others?
Beau : The changes were applied to everyone using the same criteria - no exceptions.
Daisy : But how do I know if I really measured up compared to others?
Beau : Your performance was solid, Daisy, and the records are clear - it's all documented in our department reports.
You can take a look at them if you want to.
