observer Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Seems the EU is to cap Banker's bonuses at no more than a year's salary - have they got something right for a change?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 That would depend on whether they are legally able to do that. I can envisage several law firms getting big bonuses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 The shower of ba++++ds will just get a pay rise to compensate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Before you evaporate with euphoria Kije; you'll note it was a question. It depends on whether you think that professional gamblers who furnish the HMRC with £billions and could easily move anywhere in the world, are indispensable to our economic survival OR whether at a time of austerity, when we're supposedley "all in it together"; some form of fairness should be applied to an epidemic of greed at the top, where some remain untouchable.

Lt Kije Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Well I think they were right to try to do something, but sadly it won't work, banks will find away round it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Not a bad idea as such but if they get a bonus every year then they are in effect getting twice the salary for the same work albeit half of which is a lump sum. Almost a bad as politicians voting for a pay rise of twice what everybody else gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Almost a bad as politicians voting for a pay rise of twice what everybody else gets. Or voting for an increase in their gold plated final salary pension scheme funded by the tax payer, while scrapping everyone elses. .
