I was at a company once where they talked about it casually. The career path was clear, etc. You had your salary, and your bonus.
The bonus is easy to compute: It was a percentage of how much the company charged the other company for the work you did.
Like if the job you did that day cost $200k, you get 2k.
But to get back on topic, I think everyone should take a look at a book called "Winning Through Intimidation" by Robert J. Ringer.
The title is misleading. The content is "How not to be manipulated by people who use intimidation tactics, and here are the typical ones they use subtly so there's no way you could complain, and here's how to recognize what they're doing, and here's the way to deal with it".
