Usage
"Ask one of those corporate bosses in receipt of a fat bonus why they need an incentive to do their job to the best of their ability when workers ranging from surgeons to school caretakers do not, and they are usually at a loss for a coherent explanation. The panoply of bonuses and awards has simply become the norm." — Julia Finch; Bonus Scam Admitted At Last; The Guardian (London, UK); Jun 9, 2009.
