secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 did the bank make a profit though? did its share price go up? this is one thing i dont agree on with you mate The bank has reduced it's liabilities (ie things which are so bad it is hopeless, like a loan to Greece) by £600 million, so that is less money to find if it goes breasts skywards!

WILF 47,583 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 The storm about the bonus for this guy and other top banking people is nonsense!!.......not giving them a million quid bonus is like telling most blokes they cant have a hundred quid bonus because its too much!! Its f*****g peanuts!!..........this odd semi-communist mentality we have in this country about people getting paid a lot of money is what holds us back as a trading nation. If you buy a new bentley in the USA, people will congratulate you.........if you buy it in England, they want to run a key down the side of it..........what a shit mentality to have. If anyone resents a bloke getting paid a lot of money because they themselves dont have it then they deserve to be f*****g poor! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PoshPikey 560 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Compare what he has done compared to stupid overpaid footballers. He took on a job of turning round a failing bank and WOULD ONLY have got his bonus if the share price had continued to climb for 2 years. So he has kept a bank afloat - he has kept a lot of people in work and if he took his share bonus he could have sold them and put even more money back into the economy. I think he deserves credit for what he has done - if that bank goes bust then the taxpayer loses out even more because we own so much of it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jessdale 416 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) How can the guy not getting his bonus shares,of which he is due,make anyone feel better about it ie:"i am on minimum wage but at least he hasn`t got his shares"????. I could not give a monkeys what anyone earns apart from me. The politics of jealousy is a nasty thing. I would wager a bet that a starving african child would be more jealous of your evening meal tonight than you are of the guys bonus shares Edited January 30, 2012 by jessdale 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,809 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I don't know if this attitude of the masses hating anybody doing well for themselves is related to the recent economic hard times or has always been about but I get pissed off listening to people pissing and whining about it. Life isn't fair, anybody that told you it was lives in a fairy tale. I wish I had a multi million pound bussiness, a garage full of flash cars and a lingerie model as my girl friend but I dont'. That's just life. f**k me, I feel depressed now..... LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
