It's always tough to tell exactly how much Kirkland bonuses are though (since they're not uniform), so I think you're going to have a somewhat tough time drawing a precise comparison.Anonymous User wrote:Given the above speculation that the rest of the V10 will fall in line, are there any guesses about how that will impact Kirkland's tendency to pay above market bonuses? Should we expect the same K&E : CSM ratio as last year?

Except the spring bonuses in 2011 were meant to make up for low bonuses in 2010, not in 2011. So it's down somewhat from 2010, including 2011 spring, but up from 2011.Anonymous User wrote:Most relevant part:
