You say "despite", but it seems likely that the declining bonuses are simply another one of those cost-cutting measures.

Same here, and the rate for the coverage is atrocious.
I've been at the same company for going on 18 years, and my salary has been flat since before 2008 - I've seen exactly one increase in that time (+0.75%) - in terms of actual dollars, it's been on a decline for 10+ years. Average review? No increase. Exceptional review? No increase. Hey, at least at the beginning of the year they told us explicitly that there wouldn't be any increases for the past or current year.
Yet, we're reporting record profits, and we're expected to fill the shoes of everyone they laid off last year.
