You are right about that, and wasn't one of the excuses the Administration gave for sneaking in, under the cover of darkness, the allowance of giving out the bonuses was because they were afraid all the brilliant people would leave unless they got a bonus?
Brilliant thinking, leave??????? Where would they go, what financial or insurance companies are hiring?????????
Utterly ridiculous. |

Seems to me that these bonuses are incentive for further failure. Rewards for a job poorly done. Also they are taking the money from me, the taxpayer. I have no performance contract with these "best and brightest" failures. I say no bonus. You get no reward for manipulating the finances of this country solely to line your own pockets. You get no bonus for all the lost jobs, ruined retirements, ended educations and foreclosed homes. Bonus!? For all that? You should get life in prison. Egotistical, smug , self entitled theiving MFers.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Even worse it's reflective of how some live in a different world than most of us. These execs were able to game the system and earn incredible sums of money for AIG. I think revenues went from 750M to over 3 Billion in just a few years. At that point you can pretty much write your own ticket and they did, asking that their 2007 bonus be written into the 2008 contract in advance.
Every person working in the UK office where the division was HQ'd was earning over 1M a year according to a news show I saw last night, I'm assuming they were not counting admins etc...
