Wow. This is just infuriating. I always thought bonus's are rewards for good performance. They're not guaranteed. Any observer would agree that they did nothing short of a craptastic job. Even if you have 100 platforms operating effectively with no safety violations, if you have one that causes 11 deaths, and the worst spill in US history, then sorry, you fail. You do not deserve a reward. I would argue that you don't even deserve your job.

It's just more evidence against the narrative we've built up of our society being a meritocracy, and further evidence that the Davis-Moore Thesis doesn't hold up to reality.
