In my experience the difference between the average bonus you get by plodding along and the amazing bonus is either your boss likes you on a personal level or you killed yourself to get it. I have never seen a case where the $ difference between the average bonus and amazing bonus is worth the metaphorical "killing yourself" to earn it.

My recommendation is to recognize the stock options, bonuses, etc. as the emotional manipulations they are. Either perform the tasks or don't, but try to avoid getting emotionally bogged down in it. Instead, lift your head up and look around at the broader economy and make your decision based on that. Most of the time the fastest path to a promotion, higher income, etc. is to leave.

The better place to seek emotional fulfillment and validation is at home with your family.
