Short periodic bonuses as a reward for hard work/innovative work/grunt work
Hey Jack, I saw you created a test suite for this giant codebase and now we can make changes without worrying about breakage?
Thanks for doing this unsexy work. Here, take $500. Go celebrate with your partner.
Do this a few times a year, it adds up to an incentive based bonus and keeps employees happy (of course jut the hard work with no reward will make them leave)
