A team's supervisor promised the team that they would receive a bonus if they improved their performance by $20\%.$ They met this goal but months have passed and the bonuses were never brought up again. The manager has been informed that there is no longer money for the bonuses. Should the manager bring it up in the next meeting?

No$.$ Bringing it up will only reduce upset team members and reduce their level of engagement. It is better to wait.

No$.$ Knowing that there are no rewards available will have a negative effect on their motivation.

Yes. It is likely that everyone in the team remembers the bonuses but feels awkward or anxious about bringing it up$.$ Furthermore, lack of delivery on the promise is likely already affecting team members' engagement. It is better to be candid here, even if it makes the manager a bit vulnerable.

Yes. Being honest is the right thing to do$,$ even when it will likely have a negative effect on team members' engagement.
