Bankers are planning to sue the banks that employ them if their bonuses aren't big enough
| Related: | Personal Finance•Money•Other Money |
Personally I think its a disgrace - Greed gone mad.
I do hope they get their cummuppence on 201/12/2012 when no matter how powerful you are or how much money you have ALL will be brought low as each other!
Bring on the Zombie Apocalypse - I know who I will be throwing to them for food and it starts with the greedy bankers.
Hang em high I say!!!

If they are thinking of suing the banks then they must have contractual definitions that the bonuses they receive must be percentage based upon the profits generated by their employers and therefore contractuallly defined.
In this instance they have a case.
The only way to end this madness and greed is to let all the major banks collapse. Unfortunately if the governments around the world let that happen, then it is the ordinary man on the street that will be the hardest hit. It would be like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Catch-22 I believe so all we are left with really is hanging then...
Sounds good to me!!1
Pass me the rope and Fred Goodwin and I will do the business with a skip and a hop and a hey nonny no...
I just don't get why we can't let all the banks collapse and then set up new ones, leaving the shareholders with the losses rather than the public...
Hear hear!!!
Aaagh.... Oh dear Omend if that happens I agree let those Zombies do their worst. Sadly though I do fear our Parchester may have a point.
Are we deeply in the middle of a recession or not? Could it slide into depression? I think it could.
While these bankers might have a point about contractual rights, someone needs to curtail their rampant and selfish greed by reminding them that they are and will never be a special case and their contracts can be revised just like every other 'Joe average' out there as a direct result of the mess that we are in.
'Bankers' will be hated as much as estate agents and lawyers if this is allowed to continue. Sharp suits can sometimes mean sharp practices you know.
Now what would cockney rhyming slang be for a 'banker', me wonders?
Me wonder indeed?.... Tankers perhaps? Lol!!!
I slipped into depression about a year ago snoops.
Made it out though slightly scathed but wiser!
These fools are not wise will never be wise and their antics are about as funny as Morecambe and Wise!
That's a good point. By law, employers can change contracts at a whim by having a '6 month consultation' period and if people are still working 6 months after the new contracts come into force they are deemed to have accepted the conditions. If they don't like them, they're free to quit (with no redundancy or payoff).
It seems to me snoops that failure is rewarded these days and in extreme remunerations.
This one in particular is a disgrace especially to customers and when they go bust eventually payouts like these will have contributed but will the directors who are supposed to care about the companies they run worry and regret it. Haha not a jot of it whilst they sip champagne in their infinity pool surrounded by prostitutes and fawning so called friends.
Hmmm sounds quite good actually - how to I get a directorship of a major company?
Google search.......
Damn it seems you have to have gone to Eton Or Cambridge and gotten a good 'A' by the other whip boys. Not for me Im afraid my bott bott is one way!
>;o#)
Alternatively you could be born with a silver spoon up yer bum ruthless , liar , cheat and general scumbag - Oops sorry thats a politician one level lower than a banker!
Lol! You do put it in a very acquired manner shall we say omen! Only you my friend can do so! I know your serious but I do find it so hysterically funny I forget what your message is really about!!! Lol!!!
Maybe we should follow the Michael J. Fox 'Secret of my Success' route to CEO status and steal the identity of a senior manager with a corner office :)
Words fail, Omen! Well, polite ones anyway!

Heh, but then it would depend on which definition of profit the contracts use...
