So bonuses and performance based compensation shouldn't be a thing?

by his own admission he received a bonus and a promotion

20k and no promotion for de-risking copilot? Context: https://www.levels.fyi/companies/microsoft/salaries

This dude is more than justified in being disappointed. The value added by de-risking a product of this size is massive.

20k bonus is a joke of a bonus. probably like < 2-3% of the total comp?
