20th March 2009. Everybody else has had their say about the topic of bank bonus – so I guess I might as well throw in my two cents worth. Does the airline pilot get a bonus for every safe landing, after all its his job. Does the doctor get a bonus for every life saved. Bonus appear to be an invention largely of the big end of town , who, in the good times, use it as a tool to get their snouts in the trough As we know, the good times are usually only a result of unique economic circumstances not individual effort.
The last six months have seen where individual effort has taken us in the financial industry, in particular we have seen that the real criminals, those who have damaged society so much recently, lurk in the financial pages.
