“leadership cancelled bonuses citing market conditions”

I felt lied to and insulted after learning company beat revenue estimates and made record profits while freezing bonuses

What I wish I knew
"bonus freeze might have been a lie"
If I could tell you one thing
"push back professionally, update resume and bounce if necessary"
