Recession!!!

During this current cash crisis the world is having, What does everyone think about those bankers taking those massive bonuses?

My view is that I think it is theft!! It is not actually their money to be taking those sorts of bonuses, it is the normal tax payers money they are taking, and they are taking them on predicted results, not actual results. I feel if I have to have a measley 3% of my annual earnings as a bonus, why shouldn't they.
Also if they can earn say £100,000 a year and get a bonus of £10 million, then on my £16,000 a year earnings that should at least give me a bonus of £1.6 million, Don't you agree?

I'm not sure about corporate U.K, but here in the US, if you don't give CEO's massive bonuses, they will leave for other company's that will. It's a shame they get them in such high quanitites, especially when they are running their company's into the ground and asking the gov't for help, but in reality, thats how the biz works. In order to compete and keep they high level exucitives, the bonuses have to be paid.

What about the real workers who work below them, I mean I work in their mail department, now if they didn't get their mail on time they would be f##ked, so how about paying us some of the big bonuses because if it wasn't for us in the first place, some of those big deals wouldn't get done!!!!

I agree, but sadly thats just not how the system works my friend.

We need to start an uprising!!!! I want some of that money, you most probably want some of that money, everyone will then want some of that money, oh shit I see where this is going!!!

A general strike. b000000m. That'll stop the Frei Korps

[lucabelli]

A global strike for all workers who earn under £30,000 per annual. Until we get at least a universal rule that everyone gets an equal bonus scheme I.e if they can have a bonus of £10 million, we should get £10 million! What do you think?
