Rewards [MicroBusiness]
Fred Schindler · IEEE Microwave Magazine · 2023
I worked in an organization that had just finished a high-profile project. We had been challenged to develop a chipset for a new customer on an accelerated schedule. We hadn’t quite met all the milestones or specifications, but we were close. Overall, we were quite successful. Most importantly, the customer was pleased. I led one of the product development teams. At the start of the project, our general manager provided additional motivation. He suggested there would be cash rewards if we were successful. Once we had finished, a bonus budget was approved. That left us with the task of deciding how the rewards should be allocated.
