I’m almost inclined to think that this is an auto-correct failure when someone typed it in.

In addition to others,
The word “obnoxious”, these days means “extremely offensive or unpleasant; very annoying”.
The word has an archaic meaning of “exposed or vulnerable to something, especially harm or injury”.
One could see that the “obnoxious bonus” is using the archaic meaning of the word.

Most likely the code is for a bonus for working under “Obnoxious” conditions. There are certain kinds of duties that someone can perform which are outside of their normal line of work and which would deserve extra pay, and some of those kinds of duties can be particularly “obnoxious”.
For example suppose there is an accident with a large truck from a meat processing plant and some city workers suddenly are called on to shovel 40 tons of rotten pig assholes in 103°F heat for 6 hours to clear the road as soon as possible. That could be the sort of thing that calls for an “obnoxious bonus” code.
