Fuuuuck I got a big bonus back when my company got bought out too. That was when I had just barely started out of college. I even bragged to my mom about how my career was meteoric while my dad (also a programmer) just gave a silent stare

Well before they were 'restructured' i'd get bonuses equitable to your own every quarter, usually between 2-3K. Since then I took a promotion into an area that has never qualified for bonuses, but it's just another brick in the wall of fuckery going on at the board level.

Eh, not really, in our case it's an extra 10,000 in one year (8% match). Compounded over 35 years could lead to at least a reasonable backing
