got it, I suspected as such. I would probably only count the 1/2 paid now plus the prior two 25% in a survey like this FWIW. That's how DWS reports it (Paid Bonus).

But, is he also getting paid 25% from previous years during this month?

Or (insert other explanation here that has nothing to do with actual work capacity)

Decisions to show initiative are usually made at the margins. Having a controlling boss destroys that.

If I feel strongly about it I'll rope in the other person into the discussions to see if we can work something out. The only times I've gotten a "no" tend to be because I have something really important to do for my official boss, for good reason. Cross-department work is encouraged, usually.
