Truther 1,579 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Banks bailed out with public money paying bonuses ? bonuses for failure, usually the sack in most jobs for failing. Absolutely corrupt, aided and abetted by corrupt politicians...........why do we put up with it? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reading things like this makes me wish I had worked harder at school and gone to university to study International Business and Finance or similar... Then you're a greedy f@cker too Sadly these bonuses aren't given because they work so hard or are so good at their jobs, even when you're not good at all, you're rewarded...... It all has to do with keepin the rich getting richer and the poor poorer, and that's something politicians should do something about. I don't mind that somebody who's working a lot of hours getting more than the person on the dole, but this has gone out of order.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 13,253 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Commissions are commissions! These bankers etc although yes are getting huge bonuses, their % is probably really low it's just they are dealing with phenomenol amounts of money. Makes me laugh when people bash on about this. These boys and girls are paid on their successes not failures. Think about it if you work for a failing or struggling company you still expect to be paid what you're owed 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also selfish, arrogant and narcissistic. I think I would have made an excellent banker... Do you know anyone in the finance industry? I don't personally, but some friends of friends work in the City. It is not an ordinary 9-5 job. The people we are reading about with these phenomenal bonuses aren't the interns or the new guys. They are the David Beckhams of the banking world. Working a 100 hour week is normal. The attrition rate is horrendous. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Without the public bail out they wouldn't have a job to get a bonus from, no bonus until they paid the public back, and made a profit on their own merit in my book, but then again that would be more ripp offs on the public. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you really think its all crooked crack on mate. I'm telling from experience there are unscrupulous cnuts in all careers finance is no exception but people chose to purchase PPI same way you choose to get the bogof offers in a supermarket its your choice. People always rush along headfirst then blame others because it goes tits up 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are the David Beckhams of the banking world. Working a 100 hour week is normal. The attrition rate is horrendous. I know a few of them and have worked alongside and within financial services a fair amount over the years. Many are burnt out after a few years, as are lots in other high powered high stress jobs Humans are humans and take what they can out of whatever system they are governed by. Whether this is rounding up time sheets, taking cash for building work. False mileage claims through to MPs claiming for duck ponds etc. Our FS industry is probably the only thing we still have left that keeps us hanging onto being a world leader. If keeping some posh bell ends on big bonuses allows this to continue, so be it. They need governed better and maybe limiting in what they are allowed to do, that's all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,511 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 The government should do something about the bank bonuses as there's so many people living in poverty and relying on food kitchens in this country , but there on the fiddle with there expenses the bonus must seem the norm to them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Non what so ever lies with the insividuals who took on these debts that were beyond their means to repay. Its always somebody else's falut... You're wrong there, it was the bankers fault. Of course folk are going to ask for money, even if they know they can't pay it back. If some beggar / low life druggy asked you for 100k saying he'll pay you back next week would you lend it him ? No, or course you wouldn't, you would act in a responsible way and look after your money. That's exactly what bankers are paid to do, take money in as savings paying a little interest, then lend it out charging more interest. That's how they make their money. (simplified version) Only this time they got greedy and wanted more and more borrowers, purely because the staff earn commission on sales. We shouldn't have bailed them out, perhaps help genuinely hit savers but let the banks fold along with the redundancies. It would have cleared the decks and given new start up banks a warning, get it right or fold. Never going to happen though, too many in high finance that associate with the government. Back to the old boy network again ! Hopefully if UKIP gain enough votes to give government a kicking it may filter through that we've all had enough, of everything.
