    Former employer Introduced a bonus system that reduced the amount of the bonus for everyone for each costly mistake. Each bonus check came with a slip of paper that named the department, the mistake, and the amount deducted.

    Boss couldn’t understand that attaching an arbitrary name, shame, and punishment scheme took away all of the bonus’s power to make everyone happier.
