hey, so I talked to my employee about this, and he echoed the concerns in your footnote, and he says "I can't imagine trying for a random bonus" - and it's really his opinion that matters here.

You could tie the bonuses to profits. Problem is, your employees might game the system by making the company more profitable!

Yup, that's what I'm thinking. I mean, its one employee and me, so if we are doing well, he probably deserves something anyhow.

"Problem is, your employees might game the system by making the company more profitable!"

How does this work? How's this a bad thing? Do you refer to figure manipulations which I believe as CEO you should be aware of?

I thought he might be at first. On reflection I think the statement is ironic (and well expressed).
