I'd assume most tech workers. Most that i'm personally aware of 'bonus' have an individual performance multiplier attached. Can get <Standard> * 2 or <standard> * .5 depending how well you (and/or the company) performed that year.

Even for tech workers I'm not sure I'd describe it as standard; maybe it's different in different markets or particular fields.

Haven't had one for the last 5 years.

The job I'm starting in next month has though.

Here in Norway bonuses doesn't seem to be considered mandatory.

If it's mandatory, then it's not a bonus. It's just salary.

Poor wording from my side I guess. I mean it seems like some companies has to offer bonuses to attract talent while only very successful companies or companies that sometimes compete for top talent offer it for engineers here.
