You know what really grinds my gears?!

Makes sense, I mean it's never fun to float the gov and gets worse as your portion of income derived from bonus goes up.

We usually don't plan for a huge chunk, just enough for retention after training and certifying and they are suddenly worth more other companies.

There is definitely the perception among many that they never get that money though.

Good move- good friend of mine with a great track record did the same at his previous company. He has greater earning potential where is now but is back in the hot seat!
