That was the process where they were discussed behind closed doors around a table, i.e. the round table, and everyone was put into a category -- the top bucket, the middle bucket, the lower bucket -- and then that was translated into a bonus range that would be assigned to each professional.
Era o processo em que eles eram analisados à porta fechada em volta da mesa, ou seja, a mesa redonda. Toda a gente era colocada numa categoria — escalão do topo, médio e baixo — que depois era traduzida numa variedade de bónus que seriam atribuídos a cada profissional.
