Most employers want to incentivize their workers to perform well and stay engaged. While these two things should align, employers unfortunately don't always get it right.
A team dinner can be a fun culmination of a group project, or it can feel like a frustrating stand-in if you were hoping for a monetary reward.
On the flip side, a cash bonus quietly appearing in your inbox may feel strange if you expected public recognition for a heroic work accomplishment.
Some people would rather call in sick than stand in front of their colleagues to receive an award.
