Bonus
I am pi55ed off with the banks attitudes of paying outrageous bonuses to incompetent management
Even I could f--k up as well as what they have done and settle for half of the bonus I think it is obscene that banks that are being bailed out with tax payers money and paying bonuses I would consider myself thankful that I still had a job Perhaps I am being a bit naive but surely you pay bonus out of profits not losses Makes me sick to think of the pigs in the trough with no regard for the common peoples lives they have affected and because of the salaries they received it will have no reflection on their lifestyle |

Re: Bonus
my thoughts exactly. Our bonuses are given out to a strict code, we do all the serious hard work for our company, and if you falter on one point, its no bonus for you. I think that the banks bigwigs should be made to pay back their bonuses, as they've made so much of a c0ck up, and won't lend owt. After all they get paid more than a heart surgeon does, to quote one MP yesterday. It leads me to believe that all this 'non lending' is to boost their profits, so they all get paid the big fat bonus
example Barclays announced that they made a 6 billion pound profit today, even after all the problems of the credit crunch and bailing out another company

Re: Bonus
of course they have to make a profit, they have to, if only a small one (which I presume 6 bill is) ....but I bet they still pay themselves bonuses, is what i was getting at.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Jacqui Smith's little confession ...

Re: Bonus
She registered her sister's address as her 'main' residence so she could claim the £23k a year allowances on her home, as a 'second-home allowance'.
No wonder she was keen for the expenses to be blocked |

Re: Bonus
I personally don't think bonuses are an incentive and a bit of a waste, financially anyway. But what can I say, I work in retail part time, my bonus last year was less than £50 but its better than nothing!
