you will find even roger/barryw and i also have issues we agree on
but as i'v said so many times the forum is enriched with many differing views
how boring the forum would be if it wasn't

Following Hester bonus retreat.....commons to debate bankers bonuses and shareholders scent blood in bonus battle at
top banks.
It appears the government have a `tin` ear when understanding what the public are feeling.
A long list of bank executives bonuses....all in the £ 1.....to £ 6 million region are to be announced next month..watch
this space...
German Bank Commerzbank senior bank in Europe refused to pay 400 million Euro`s of bonuses to London bankers
after the `financial Crisis` triggered huge losses.
CEO of bank said ``cutting bonuses was the right thing to do because of the losses``
Thats the way to do it.......................

It always amazes me that banks justify massive bonuses by the need to retain talent. When I was in investment banking a bonus over £100k was truly exceptional and I never received anything like that amount. If I had received a bonus of £1 million, you wouldn't have seen me for dust.

Keith, as noted in the past on the Forum, I don't mind if executives in places of high responsibility within a Council, a share company or a major institution in general receive a high salary, providing they are dedicated to their designated work.
I totally disagree with the attitude of them helping themselves to a bonus, in particular one that exceeds their top salary by various times. This is the case of self-serving executives in share companies. The same applies to golden pensions, golden handshakes and golden parachutes.
Anything taken from a share-company above a top salary is greed.
Personally I'd call it institutionalised theft.

there are exceptions to every rule, that bloke who took over an ailing marks and spencers and brought it back from its continuing decline is worth his weight in gold.
i think his name was stewart/stuart rose and has been a success wherever he has landed up.

Many of them are unreasonably large and the whole scale of it has got out of hand. The principal of paying bonuses is perfectly sound, within reason. After all, most salesmen get a small salary plus commission. What's commission if not a bonus?

Elite greedy pig in earlier times........................
The taxpayer is paying out £ 170,000 per year,which has been paid to the ``Landlord`` for 25 years since
`Snowdown`colliery was abandoned.
Under an ``historic contract`in 1920 the ``Landlord`` will keep receiving £ 170,00.per year until ......2042.
The 41 hectare site was designated for regeneration providing jobs and converting the `eyesore`in the Kent
countryside but the easy money of another £ 5,000,000 plus for the ``Landlord``to do nothing at all but
collect taxpayers money will result in `Snowdpwn` being a `Monument to Waste`until ....2042.
A waste of money and opportunity.

1. It's not the fault of the Plumtre family that the NCB closed the site.
2. It's not their fault that the rump of the NCB failed to find an alternative use for it.
3. It's not their fault that successive governments have failed to force a resolution one way or the other.

this is all new to me, why on earth was it closed under those circumstances?
am i correct in assuming that tax payers money has been/is/will be paid for absolutely nothing in return?
