  Of course bonuses work, they do exactly as they are supposed to do. Alas, they do not, and cannot do what it is said they do. Just like teaching to the test does nothing to teach children to think.
  Bonuses work simply to make bonuses work. They are a thing apart. They had/have their place with machining to a large degree in my experience, but then quotas will go up and the effectiveness of even these bonus structures shall deteriorate and workmanship is sure to suffer.
  Bonuses are a vital part of any reliance on statistics over actual results. For blue-collar workers they were a way of denying a raise to the basic rate of pay and the further up the pay scale you go bonuses become an entitlement and are part of the pay-package. Do they do any general good? No...unless you are a politician.
