Bonus Watch keeps score of executive pay—and who pays for it
A sourced, footnoted register that records executive compensation alongside the layoffs, outages, pollution, and shareholder dissent surrounding it.
Field notes
Bonus Watch uses a deliberately accounting-like format: each record labels compensation as “Credited CR” and the surrounding consequence as “Debited DR,” followed by source links. The homepage reports 64 entries and US$5.40 billion credited to date. Individual records span executive pay, layoffs, service failures, shareholder votes, and environmental incidents, including a Severn Trent entry citing roughly 36,000 sewage spills lasting more than 200,000 hours in 2025.
