What people are saying
When you have a worker on a fixed salary, it is the closest thing to a scholarship; people have to feel that if they make more effort, they earn more.
Almost all of them have variable pay; very few are on fixed salaries, but even those on fixed salaries have a bonus.
Everyone has a bonus and almost most are directly incentivized in their position.
